About the flag

The flag displayed is that of Sri Lanka, known for its distinctive design featuring a golden lion holding a sword in its right paw, symbolizing bravery and the Sinhalese ethnic majority. The green and orange stripes represent the Muslim and Tamil minorities, respectively, emphasizing unity among diverse communities in the island nation. Sri Lanka's flag has deep historical roots, dating back to the kingdom of Sri Lanka as early as the 5th century. The lion emblem is derived from the Sinhalese warrior dynasty. Remembering this flag can be easier if you associate the lion with Sri Lanka's strong cultural identity, making it a powerful symbol of both heritage and harmony among its people.
