THE SHAPE, COLORS AND SYMBOL OF THE FLAG IS MORE OR LESS RELATED TO VEDIC CULTURE (HINDUISM, WHICH I REALLY HATE TO TAG AS) THAN ANYTHING ELSE. BUT CAN BE INTERPRETED AS PER YOUR OWN KNOWLEDGE (OR DESIRE) THE KIRATIS WERE ANCIENT THAN THE SHAHS SO THEY MUST HAVE HAD OTHER FLAGS. DOESN'T MATTER MUCH. I WOULD CARE MORE ABOUT THE WELL BEING OF NEPALI AT THE PRESENT THAN ANYTHING ELSE. EVERYTHING ELSE IS IRRELEVANT TO ME.
