In 1206, when Chinggis Khan founded the Great Mongol State, he raised and consecrated the Great White Standard of the State — the Nine-Tailed, Nine-Tongued, Nine-Maned banner — a tradition handed down since the time of the Xiongnu. From that moment until today, our ancestors and their descendants have revered and worshipped it as a sacred symbol.
Made from the tails of one thousand white stallions, it symbolizes the strength of a thousand stallions in firmly upholding and safeguarding the state.
This ceremonial tradition, passed down from our ancestors, begins on the morning of July 11 every year between 8:30 and 10:30 a.m in the square in front of the Government Palace.
The State’s Nine-Tailed White Standard is then carried clockwise and escorted to the National Central Stadium.
