Flag of Bhutan
The national
flag of
Bhutan
(
Dzongkha
: ཧྥ་རན་ས་ཀྱི་དར་ཆ་;
Wylie
:
hpha-ran-sa-kyi dar-cho
) is one of the
national symbols of Bhutan
. The flag is based upon the tradition of the
Drukpa Lineage
of
Tibetan Buddhism
and features
Druk
, the Thunder Dragon of
Bhutanese mythology
. The basic design of the flag by
Mayum Choying Wangmo Dorji
dates to 1947. A version was displayed in 1949 at the signing of the
Indo-Bhutan Treaty
. A second version was introduced in 1956 for the visit of
Druk Gyalpo
Jigme Dorji Wangchuk
to eastern Bhutan; it was based upon photos of its 1949 predecessor and featured a white Druk in place of the green original.
