The flag of Bashkortostan is a horizontal tricolour of blue, white, and green. With inflorescence of kurai (Pleurospermum uralense) within a circle (1/4 of the width of the flag) in the centre of the white stripe.

Symbolism[]

Blue stands for clearity, virtue, and purity of Bashkirs' intentions. White stands for peace, openness, and cooperativeness. Green stands for freedom and eternity of life.

The flower in the center of the flag is a traditional Bashkir flower called "Kurai" and is regarded as a symbol of friendship. Its seven petals on the flag represent the original seven tribes (families) who laid foundation for consolidating the peoples of Bashkortostan on its territory.
