The National Flag of Bhutan is divided diagonally into equal yellow and orange halves.
The division starts from the lower corner of the flag where it is hoisted and runs along
the diagonally opposite corner. The yellow portion lies on the upper part of the diagonal
division and it represents the yellow scarf worn by His Majesty, which in turn represents
the being of His Majesty, the King. The orange portion lies on the lower part of the flag
and it represents the orange scarf worn by the Je Khenpo, the religious head of the
country.
The National Flag has a white dragon which spreads equally along the diagonal
division towards the upper end. The dragon holds norbu(jewel) by its claws.
