The Mauritian flag consists of four horizontal stripes in red, blue, green and yellow. It is one of the symbols of the Republic of Mauritius, an island state of the Indian Ocean located east of the coasts of Madagascar and Reunion Island which is part of the Mascarene Islands. Other national emblems are the dodo, a species of extinct endemic bird, the country's coat of arms, the national anthem of the "Motherland" and the national motto "The star and the key to the Indian Ocean".

On the map, the country has two main islands: Mauritius and Rodrigues as well as other small islands such as Agaléga and Saint-Brandon. Mauritius has been chronologically a Dutch, French and British colony in history.

Meaning of the colours of the Mauritian flag

This flag, which acts as a national flag on land, was adopted on 12th March 1968 when the country officially declared its independence from the United Kingdom. There are three maritime flags in Mauritius in use today: the Civil State Flag (both of which bear the country's coat of arms with the emblematic animals of the dodo and sambar) and the War Flag (with a red anchor).

The four colours of the Mauritian flag reflect the country's geographical, natural and climatic realities.

Thus the colour red represents the shimmering colour of the flaming flowers, the blood spilled by the ancestors who triumphed on Mauritian soil.

Blue is the colour of the Indian Ocean, source of life and important natural resource for Mauritius and the azure colour of the Mauritian sky.

The yellow colour evokes the sun, the hot and humid climate and the sand of the beautiful Mauritian beaches.

Finally, the green colour represents the island's vegetation: the millenary lush forests but also the sugar cane fields, which have been and still are an important economic agricultural resource of the country.
