What is the origin of the dragon on the flag of Bhutan?
Answer A legend of the founding of a Tibetan Buddhist monastery
A legend dating from 1189 tells how the founder of the Drukpa line of Tibetan Buddhism was guided to build the first Druk monastery by glowing light and three claps of thunder, said to be signs of the dragon. This creature has become a national symbol of Bhutan.
