           The 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 2008.
