The emblem of Nepal was changed during the reconciliation period following the Nepalese Civil War. On 30 December 2006, a new emblem was introduced. It contains the flag of Nepal, Mount Everest, green hills symbolising the hilly regions of Nepal and yellow colour symbolising the fertile Terai region, male and female hands joining to symbolise gender equality, and a garland of Rhododendron (the national flower). Atop this is a white silhouette in the shape of Nepal. ==Features== At the base of the design a red scroll carries the national motto in Sanskrit: जननी जन्मभूमिश्च स्वर्गादपी गरीयसी (''jananī janmabhūmiśca svargādapi garīyasī''), which translates as "The mother and the motherland are greater than heaven." 〔(People's Daily Online - Nepal to change new coat of arms )〕 The phrase: : : In English: :I care not for Lanka, Lakshmana, even though it be made of gold. :One’s mother and one’s native land are worth more even than heaven. It was quoted by Lord Rama when his brother Lakshmana expresses desire to stay back in Lanka. This quote is from Srimad Ramayana. See Janani Janmabhoomischa Swargadapi Gariyasi for more details. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Emblem of Nepal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
