Bhutanese flag

The Bhutanese flag features a divided design with a white dragon across the center. The upper part is in a vibrant orange, symbolizing spiritual tradition and civil authority, while the lower part is a rich yellow, representing the civil government and the secular aspects of the nation. The white dragon, known as Druk, signifies protection and the country's name, which means "Land of the Thunder Dragon." The dragon holds jewels in its claws, representing wealth and prosperity, and its snarling expression symbolizes the strength of Bhutan's tradition and people.
