The Flag of North Sumatra is the official symbol representing the Indonesian province of North Sumatra. Adopted on August 25, 1950, the flag consists of three horizontal bands of yellow (top and bottom), and red (middle). In the center of the red band is a white star with five points, known as Bintang Kejora or the Silver Star. This design symbolizes unity, courage, and the aspiration for progress among the people of North Sumatra. The flag’s colors and the silver star are shared with the national flag of Indonesia, reflecting the region’s strong connection to the country.
