The safran (yello) half part stands for the king's power while the lower orange half part represents the budhist spiritual authority. The original crimson red was turned into orange in the 1969 version shifted by Mayum Choying Wangmo Dorji. As the very name Druk Yul of the country means "Land Of The Thunder Dragon", so a dragon is displayed on the flag. The dragon is the symbol of the nation. It embodies both benevolence & power. Yet the other name Bhutan comes from the word "Bhota Anta" which means "End of Tibet" in Sanskrit. The present pattern was adopted in 1969.

treaty on 8 AUGUST 1949 (too bad & unseemly both flagz
are cut !!!)

The drawing of this green dragon has been made by Mello LUCHTENBERG. He courtesy gave it to me but shall not be stolen, I guess !!!! It's vizible here > www.vexilla-mundi.com/bhutan_history.html
Another variant with a colored dragon, which apparently gets used in
some ceremonies (or it could be a royal standard)
