BHUTAN

The national flag of Bhutan consists of a white dragon over a yellow and orange background. The flag is divided diagonally from the lower hoist side corner, making two triangles. The dragon is centered along the dividing line, facing away from the hoist side. The dragon depicted on the flag, Druk (or Thunder Dragon), represents Bhutan's local Tibetan name, The Land of the Dragon. The dragon grasps jewels, representing wealth, in its claws. The yellow field symbolizes the secular monarchy, while the orange represents the Buddhist religion.
