Only few variations over the centuries. The Lion and the golden colour of lion Represents the Sinhalese ethnicity and the bravery of the Sri Lankan nation. The bo leaves Buddhism and its influence on the nation. They also stand for the four virtues of Kindness, Friendliness, Happiness and Equanimity. The sword of the lion The sovereignty of the nation and the braveness of its people. The curly hair on the lion's head Religious observance, wisdom and meditation. The eight hairs on lion's tail The Noble Eightfold Path. The beard of the lion Purity of words. The handle of the sword The elements of water, fire, air and earth that the country is made of. The nose of the lion Intelligence. The two front paws of the lion Purity in handling wealth. The vertical orange stripe The Tamil ethnicity. The vertical green stripe The Muslim faith and Moor ethnicity. The yellow border round the flag People from all cultures living together in Sri Lanka in including some Dutch burghers and Portuguese. The maroon background This represents the majority of Sinhalese people,it was used in early flags of Sri Lanka by Kings .
