The Indonesian flag consists of two horizontal stripes: a red stripe on the top and a white stripe on the bottom. The red symbolizes courage and the struggle for independence, while the white represents purity and peace. This simple yet striking design reflects the values and spirit of the Indonesian people. Adopted on August 17, 1945, the flag has its roots in the historical banners of the Majapahit Empire, which existed in the 13th to 16th centuries. The flag is a source of national pride and is displayed during various celebrations and official events throughout Indonesia.
