Romani Flag - Symbol of Roma Identity and Heritage #146947 (License: Personal Use)

The Romani flag consists of three vertical stripes-black (symbolizing the Indian origins and past oppression), white (peace and purity), and green (hope and the European homeland)-centered with a red 16-pointed star encircling a yellow disc. The 16 points represent the 16 original clans of the Roma people, while the yellow center evokes the sun and life. It was first proposed by Gheorghe Nicolescu and later formalized at the First World Romani Congress in 1971.

This image is commonly used on cultural, educational, and advocacy websites related to Roma history, human rights, and ethnic identity; it supports content about minority representation, international recognition, and heritage preservation.
