The yellow half stretches from the hoist to the upper fly end, and the orange half from the fly end to the lower hoist. It has a white dragon along the fimbriation, flying towards the upper fly end. The honour point of the flag is the fimbriation along which a dragon is located, stretching equally on the yellow and orange fields. The staff ornament or finial is a norbu (jewel).

The flag of Bhutan represents strength in unity and character. The Yellow Colour signifies His Majesty as the head of state. While the Organe colour signifies the spiritual traditions of Bhutan.

The dragon at the centre signifies purity, strength and independence. The jewels in the claws of the dragon represent wealth and protection, and the dragon’s snarls symbolize the protector deities of Bhutan.
