Bhutan National flag.

Druk Yul — that’s the Bhutanese name for Bhutan, which translates to “Land of the Thunder Dragon”. The dragon, who is center-stage in Bhutan’s myths and legends, is also the principal character on Bhutan’s national flag. It sits in the center in white, clasping jewels in each claw. The white signifies purity and loyalty, whereas the jewels symbolize national wealth and perfection.

The flag is divided diagonally from the top right corner to the bottom left corner. The left side is yellow whereas the right side is dark orange. The yellow color represents the yellow Kabney, the power of the King as the secular government. Meanwhile, the dark orange points to the Kagyupa and Nyingmapa Buddhist sects, referring to the religious commitment of the country.
