Flag Description:
The flag of Tibet was introduced in 1912 by the 13th Dalai Lama, it is based on the traditional flags of the Tibetan regiments. It served as the flag of Tibet until 1950. It remains the emblem of the government of Tibet in exile headquartered in Dharamsala, India. It is banned in the People's Republic of China.
Six red broadening bands on a blue field extending from the center to the edges of the flag (symbolise the six original peoples of Tibet; the Se, Mu, Dong, Tong, Dru and Ra, who are known as the six tribes.), superimposed by a yellow sun with 12 rays. A white isosceles triangle based on the lower side with its top point in the flag's center bears a pair of snow lions holding a flaming three-coloured jewel and a yin yang symbol. The flag is yellow bordered on three sides, but not on the fly.
