The Tibetan flag features a snow mountain with two snow lions, a sun, and alternating red and blue rays. Banned in China, it represents Tibetan independence. A yellow sun crests the top of the snow-mountain triangle, with the Tibetan national emblem above.
The yellow represents Buddhism and the Dalai Lama's authority. The snow mountains represent the Tibetan plateau. The flag is associated with Tibetan independence movements and cultural identity.
