The national flag of Tajikistan (Парчами давлатии Ҷумҳурии Тоҷикистон) was adopted in November 1992, replacing the flag of the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic of 1953. The flag features Iranian colors in a horizontal tricolor of red, white, and green, with a yellow crown surmounted by an arc of seven stars at the centre. It has a width ratio of 2:3:2.[2] The tricolor preserves the choice of colors in the former Tajik Soviet flag, as well as the 1:2 proportions.
The flag day is celebrated on 24 November,[3][4] which is the day it was officially adopted.[1]
