Buryatia

The flag of the Republic of Buryatia consists of three horizontal stripes in blue, white and yellow with the Soyombo symbol in the upper hoist. Blue represents the sky, loyalty and the region's many lakes and rivers, white symbolizes peace and purity, and yellow reflects Buddhism, prosperity and spiritual harmony. The Soyombo emblem signifies freedom, eternity and cultural heritage.

The current flag of the Republic of Buryatia was officially adopted on October 29, 1992, after the establishment of the republic within the Russian Federation. It reflects the traditions of the Buryat people, their Buddhist heritage and the region's natural beauty surrounding Lake Baikal.
