The national flag of Nepal (Nepali: नेपालको झण्डा) was created in December 1962. It is the only national flag in the world that doesn't have four sides.
The current flag was adopted on 16 December 1962, along with the formation of a new constitutional government.[1] It borrows from the original, traditional design,[2] used throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, and is a combination of the two individual flags used by rival branches of the ruling dynasty.[3]
