The Romani flag
The Romani flag features a blue and green horizontal bicolor, symbolizing the sky and earth, representing freedom and a connection to nature. At its center is a red wheel, known as the Bhakra, which signifies the Romani people's journey and their nomadic heritage. The wheel also represents movement and travel, reflecting the historical lifestyle of many Romani groups. The flag was officially adopted in 1971 at the first World Romani Congress, symbolizing unity and identity among the diverse Romani communities globally. It serves as a reminder of their rich culture and ongoing struggles for rights and recognition.
