flag: Kyrgyzstan

The flag of Kyrgyzstan has a red background with a yellow sun. In the center of the sun is a depiction of the tunduk, the roof of a traditional yurt.

This flag was created in 1992. The red symbolizes courage and valor, the yellow sun represents peace and prosperity, and the yurt pattern embodies traditional culture.

The tunduk (yurt roof) at the center of the Kyrgyz flag is surrounded by 40 rays. These represent the 40 tribes that make up the Kyrgyz people, symbolizing national unity.

Representing the nomadic culture of Central Asia, this flag harmoniously combines modern national identity with traditional values. The yurt pattern, in particular, symbolizes the Kyrgyz nomadic lifestyle, a UNESCO World Heritage, and instills cultural pride in younger generations.
