🌍 Flag facts
🦁
The golden lion holding a sword represents bravery and the Sinhalese people. It's based on a very old royal symbol used in Sri Lanka for hundreds of years.
🌿
The four golden leaves in the corners are Bo leaves, from the sacred Bodhi tree. They stand for kindness, friendliness, happiness and equanimity — four Buddhist values.
🎨
The green and saffron stripes stand for Sri Lanka's Muslim and Hindu communities, while the maroon panel stands for the Sinhalese majority — together showing everyone living under one flag.
🐘
Sri Lanka is a tropical island nation south of India, famous for its tea, spices, ancient temples, and its elephants and leopards.
