The flag of Mon State depicts a hamsa in the centre of a red background. The current flag was approved by the Mon State Hluttaw and officially adopted on 8 June 2018.[1]

In local legend, the city of Bago, which was founded by the Mon people, was established on the location where a hamsa sought refuge during a massive flood, hence the adoption of the bird on the flag.[2]
