I did not know what was the real meaning of Nepalese flag. If this webstite is right, ain't it horrible? I am not suggesting to change or do something with the flag. I just did heard of this meaning ever.

"The Nepal flag came into being on December 16, 1962. The Nepal flag is the only national flag which is not rectangular or square in shape. It comprises of a sun and a moon which had previously human faces but the images were removed when the flag was modernized in 1962. It is being said that the national flag of Nepal anticipates, that the nation will last as long as the sun and moon is there on earth. The blue border on the flag of Nepal signifies peace, red stands for the color of rhododendron, the national flower of Nepal. The curved moon is symbolic of the royal house and the sun represents the Rana dynasty."
