World's non quadrilateral flag: Nepal

                                             

The national banner of Nepal (Nepali: नेपालको झण्डा) is the world's just non-quadrilateral national banner. The banner is a streamlined blend of two single pennons, the vexillological word for a flag. Its blood red is the rhododendron's shade, the nation's national blossom. Red is likewise the indication of triumph in war.[citation needed] The blue outskirt is the shade of peace. Until 1962, the banner's insignias, the sun and the bow moon, had human appearances. They were uprooted to modernize the banner. 

The banner was received, with the arrangement of another protected government, on December 16, 1962. The individual flags had been utilized for the former two centuries and the twofold flag following the nineteenth century. The banner obtains the fundamental outline from the first plan, which has been being used for more.

History of origin of Nepal's Flag:


This is what i heard about the origin of Nepalese Flag:

King Prithvi Narayan Shah was away from Gorkha on a Major Mission to conquer one of the Baise-Chaubise Rajya. It was a big and a Bloody war. Prithvi Narayan Shah and his army slaughtered lots of opponent's army and people. It was a proud victory for Gorkhali Army. All his army was celebrating the victory on the way back to Gorkha.

Its obvious that after such a bloody war, Prithvi Narayan Shah was all covered with blood. Even his Daura-Surwal insde his armour had stains of blood. Before he entered the terrotory of Gorkha, he changed his Surwal which was totally soaked in blood. We all know the shape of nepalese Surwal. if you don't, its very loose and baggy in the upper( hip) part and tighter as you go down towards your foot. One of his boy in his army stucked Prithvi Narayan's Surwal on his sword and start swing in the air. His country man, who saw the victory march from a distance, thought that it was a new flag Prithvi Narayan Shah created. From the next day every house in the kingdom of Gorkha copied the army boy and stuck red two-trangled flag as a celebration of their King's Victory in war.

Some other king, later on, put a white sun and a moon on the flag....and another big headed person explained what they meant..

Nepalses Flag was actually orginated from a pair of Bloody Trousers of Prithvi Narayan Shah!!!!!

It is being said that the national flag of Nepal anticipates, that the nation will last as long as the sun and moon is there on earth.
