Offered in durable, high quality fabric, the Lakpura Sri Lankan Buddhist flag is ideal for indoor and outdoor use. Made out of polyester material, the flag is weather resistant making it perfect for religious festivals, outdoor stately functions, weddings and many other occasions that it’s appropriate to hoist. The flag was created to mark the revival of Buddhism in Sri Lanka in the late 1800's while it’s now internationally accepted by the World Buddhist Congress.
The six colours replicate the colours of the aura that is believed to emanate around the head of Lord Buddha after his enlightenment while they symbolize Buddhist values such as Compassion, Wisdom and Purity. A timeless symbol of peace and unity among Buddhists, this flag is used worldwide in over 50 countries during Buddhist festivities, particularly during the Vesak season.
