What the Colors Mean
Flag History
Based on the royal standard of the last Kandyan kings, with the sword-bearing golden lion. Stripes for the Tamil and Muslim communities were added in 1951; the four bo-tree leaves — kindness, compassion, joy, equanimity — completed it in 1972.
✨ Did you know?
It's one of the very few national flags depicting a weapon held by an animal, and one of the oldest lion symbols in continuous use.
