Schedule-1
(Relating to
clause (2) of Article 8)
National Flag
of Nepal
The method of
making the National Flag of Nepal
(a) Method of
making the shape inside the border
(1) On the
lower portion of a crimson cloth draw a line AB of the required
length from
left to right.
(2) From A draw
a line AC perpendicular to AB making AC equal to AB plus
one third AB.
From AC mark off D making line AD equal to line AB. Join B
and D.
(3) From BD
mark off E making BE equal to AB.
(4) Touching E
draw a line FG, starting from the point F on line AC, parallel to
AB to the right
hand-side. Mark off FG equal to AB.
(5) Join C and
G.
(b) Method of
making the moon
210
(6) From AB
mark off AH making AH equal to one-fourth of line AB and
starting from H
draw a line HI parallel to line AC touching line CG at point
I.
(7) Bisect CF
at J and draw a line JK parallel to AB touching CG at point K.
(8) Let L be
the point where lines JK and HI cut one another.
(9) Join J and
G.
(10) Let M be
the point where line JG and HI cut one another.
(11) With
centre M and with a distance shortest from M to BD mark off N on the
lower portion
of line HI.
(12) Touching M
and starting from O, a point on AC, draw a line from left to
right parallel
to AB.
(13) With
centre L and radius LN draw a semi-circle on the lower portion and let
P and Q be the
points where it touches the line OM respectively.
(14) With
centre M and radius MQ draw a semi-circle on the lower portion
touching P and
Q.
(15) With
centre N and radius NM draw an arc touching PNQ at R and S. Join
RS. Let T be
the point where RS and HI cut one another.
(16) With
centre T and radius TS draw a semi-circle on the upper portion of PNQ
touching it at
two points.
(17) With
centre T and radius TM draw an arc on the upper portion of PNQ
touching at two
points.
(18) Eight
equal and similar triangles of the moon are to be made in the space
lying inside
the semi-circle of No. (16) and outside the arc of No. (17) of
this Schedule.
(c) Method of
making the sun
(19) Bisect
line AF at U, and draw a line UV parallel to AB line touching line BE
at V.
(20) With
centre W, the point where HI and UV cut one another and radius MN
draw a circle.
211
(21) With
centre W and radius LN draw a circle.
(22) Twelve
equal and similar triangles of the sun are to be made in the space
enclosed by the
circles of No. (20) and of No. (21) with the two apexes of
two triangles
touching line HI.
(d) Method of
making the border
(23) The width
of the border will be equal to the width TN. This will be of deep
blue colour and
will be provided on all the side of the flag. However, on the
five angles of
the flag the external angles will be equal to the internal angles.
(24) The above
mentioned border will be provided if the flag is to be used with a
rope. On the
other hand, if it is to be hoisted on a pole, the hole on the
border on the
side AC can be extended according to requirements.
Explanation:
The lines HI, RS, FE, ED, JG, OQ, JK and UV are imaginary.
Similarly, the
external and internal circles of the sun and the other arcs except the
crescent moon
are also imaginary. These are not shown on the flag.
Note bene:The
size of the National Flag of Nepal shall be as determined by the
Government of Nepal.
