The flag of Bago Region depicts two golden hamsas, female one sitting on the male's back, on a white circle bordered by green charged at the centre of blue background. The name "Bago Region" (Burmese: ပဲခူးတိုင်းဒေသကြီး) is written in Burmese above the birds.
According to local legend, the city of Bago was established on the location where a male hamsa landed on a single rock above the floodwaters and let the female stand on his back, during a massive flood, hence the adoption of that couple on the flag and seal of Bago.[1]
The former flag of Bago Region, adopted in 1974, depicts a hamsa on a blue background. "Bago Division" (Burmese: ပဲခူးတိုင်း), the former name of Bago Region, is written in Burmese underneath the bird. After renaming of Myanmar administrative divisions in 2010, the name on the flag also changed accordingly — the word "big region" (Burmese: ဒေသကြီး) was added to become "Bago Region" (Burmese: ပဲခူးတိုင်းဒေသကြီး). Around 2018, a new design, which replaces the single golden hamsa with two golden hamsas on a green-bordered white circle, started to appear in sport tournaments.
The former flag of Mon State is similar to the pre-2018 flag of Bago Region, but its hamsa and text have different proportions and designs.
