Bhutan's flag is divided diagonally into orange-yellow and orange-red halves with a white dragon (Druk) in the center holding jewels. The yellow symbolizes the secular authority of the king, the orange represents Buddhist spiritual power, and the dragon symbolizes the country's name, Druk Yul (Land of the Thunder Dragon).
The dragon on Bhutan's flag holds wish-fulfilling jewels (norbu) in its claws, representing the wealth and perfection of the country.
