The national '''flag of Mahana''' ([[Mahanan]]: राष्ट्रिय झण्डा) is one of the national symbols of [[Mahana]]. The flag features the [[Gaism|Kharandan Wheel]], the religious symbol of [[Gaism]], the most prominent religion of Mahana. | |||
The flag was designed by Aakanksha Bista, a Mahanan artist, following the [[Mahanan Civil War]] of the early 1990s. It was created using inspiration from previous Mahanan flags and cultures, however modernised by ditching the previous triangular-shaped flags that were synonymous with the nation before the war. | |||
