Couldn't find a better one, but still
The flag used to be exclusively metallic, because cloth flags hadn't made its way to Nepal as a symbol of a nation. Flags themselves weren't common, and this was the closest thing to a national flag.
Adapting the metallic flag that shone under the daylight to a piece of cloth didn't translate well, making the early flag, where the sun and the moon had a face, ugly (though it was incredibly soulful).
Today it just looks odd.
We should never have used the cloth, that would actually be badass, even if impractical.
