The flag of Tajikistan (Tajik: Парчами Тоҷикистон / Parçami Tojikiston / پَرچَمِ تاجِیکِستان) consists of three horizontal stripes of red, white, and green. In the middle of the flag, there is a golden crown with seven golden stars arranged in the form of a bow on the crown. The red color represents the unity of the nation, as well as victory and the sunrise. The white color represents purity, morality, cotton, the mountains' snow, and ice. The color green represents the generosity of nature, the fertile valleys, the religion of Islam, and the Novruz celebrations. In addition, the seven-star crown is said to represent the country's independence. The height-to-width ratio in the flag is 1:2, and the flag was adopted on November 24, 1992.
Also, its emblem shows a sun rising from behind the Pamir Mountains and is surrounded by an open book at the bottom, a cotton sheaf to the left, and an ear of wheat to the right.
