The disc is surrounded with four golden bezants at the cardinal positions. At the bottom of the flag is a white band charged with a red meandr ornament, which symbolizes the lifestyle in the past and a prosperous future for the Buryat tribes.[2]
The blue symbolizes the sky. The white symbolizes cleaness and the heavens. The red symbolizes bravery, fire, warmth, the sun, and blood. The gold symbolizes the light of the sun, richness, and happiness.[2]
