Flag of Bhutan (1956-1969) Hoodie - Design Description
Embrace a piece of Bhutanese history with this hoodie showcasing the flag design from the period of 1956 to 1969. This striking design embodies the nation's identity and spirit.
Visual Elements
The flag's canvas is divided diagonally, creating two distinct fields. The upper triangle, positioned at the hoist (left side), is rendered in a vibrant yellow. This yellow field contrasts sharply with the lower triangle, which is a rich red hue. Positioned in the center of the diagonal dividing line is the iconic Bhutanese dragon, known as Druk.
The dragon is depicted in pure white, a significant change from the earlier flag versions. The dragon faces towards the fly (right side), a deliberate orientation symbolizing its role as a protector and guardian.
Meaning and Symbolism
The flag's design is rich in symbolism. The dragon, Druk, represents the thunder dragon, a powerful symbol of Bhutan's name ("Druk Yul," the Land of the Thunder Dragon) and its spiritual strength. The white color of the dragon during this era denotes purity and symbolizes the harmony and balance that are central to Bhutanese culture.
The diagonal division of the field adds another layer of meaning. The yellow represents the monarchy and its temporal authority, while the red symbolizes the Drukpa Kagyu school of Buddhism, the state religion. The dragon's placement over this dividing line emphasizes the interwoven relationship between secular and spiritual power, reinforcing the unity and strength of the nation.
