The flag of Sri Lanka features two large adjacent but separate rectangular areas, centered on a golden-yellow field. The smaller hoist-side rectangle is divided into two equal vertical bands of teal and orange, and the larger fly-side rectangle is maroon with a centered golden-yellow lion holding a Kastane sword in its right fore-paw and four golden-yellow Bo leaves, one in each corner.
