Romani flag

The Romani flag symbolizes the identity and culture of the Romani people worldwide. It features a white background divided by a green stripe at the bottom and a blue stripe at the top, representing land and sky. In the center, there's a red, sixteen-spoked wheel called a cartwheel or chakra, symbolizing movement, progress, and the Romani people's historical nomadic lifestyle. The flag's colors reflect the natural environment, while the wheel signifies the community's journey and resilience. Adopted officially in 1971, the flag fosters pride, unity, and recognition for the Romani people globally.
