Flag of Tajikistan

Tajikistan's national flag consists of three horizontal stripes of red, white, and green. The white stripe is significantly wider than the red and green. Centered on the white stripe is a golden crown surmounted by an arc of seven five-pointed stars.

The red stripe symbolizes the unity of the nation and victory, while the white represents purity, morality, and snow-capped mountains. Green signifies the fertility of the valleys and the Islamic faith. The crown and stars are symbols of the Tajik people and their sovereignty, with the seven stars holding significance in Tajik folklore as representing happiness and perfection.

The flag was officially adopted in November 1992, shortly after Tajikistan gained its independence following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Prior to this, Tajikistan used the flag of the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic. The design was chosen to represent a break from the Soviet past while still reflecting Tajik national identity. It has remained unchanged since its adoption.
