The image displays two key historical versions of Nepal’s distinctive double-triangular flag. The left variant, adopted in 1923, features a plain white crescent moon and multi-pointed sun on crimson red fields bordered in blue. The right variant, introduced in 1962, reimagines these symbols with human faces-representing the Hindu deities Chandra (moon) and Surya (sun)-to emphasize divine protection and national identity.
