The history of Nepal's flag


The Nepal's flag is the only one among the national flags who is not rectangular. The red is the national color of Nepal, but it is also the color of the rhododendron which is the national flower of Nepal.The crescent moon in cradle represents the perpetuity of the royal family and the sun symbolizes the Rana family (Family which took the power of the népal in 1845) .
Both points evoke the summits of Himalaya.
