Nepal Royal Standard, 1928

The Nepali Royal Standard, as displayed in a book first published in 1928, showed a white-bordered crimson flag, slightly higher than wide. It featured, in white, a lion, bearing a plain white flag, facing the fly of the Standard. Both its paws are holding, and the left hind leg is supporting, the flagstaff. In the canton is a moon symbol, tilted to the upper left corner, and in the upper fly a sun symbol, tilted to the top right corner. The faces show a “tilak”, the sign of Vishnu, on the forehead.
