National Festivals, any formal programmes of
honour, games and sports, etc.

up from our seat in a disciplined way to pay respect
to the nation. A national anthem is generally a
patriotic musical composition that evokes and
eulogizes the history, traditions, and struggles of its
people, recognized either by a nation's government
as the official national song, or by convention
through use by the people.

own national flag. The national flag represents
the nation. Our national flag is unique as it is the
only triangular flag in the world. It has two
triangles joining together. Its background is
crimson and the border is deep blue in colour.

brave and courageous nature of Nepalese people
whereas the blue colour represents for peace loving
nature of Nepalese people. There is a symbol of the
moon on its upper part and sun on its lower part.
