About Dhvaja Rojo vozona

Ny Dhvaja dia rojo vozona azo sokafana hitehirizana fahatsiarovana kely. Ny endriny dia nalaina tamin'ny dhvaja, iray amin'ireo Marika Mahasoa Valo ao amin'ny Bodisma, izay maneho ny fandresena sy ny hery handresena ny ratsy. Ny rojo vozona dia vita amin'ny volamena 18k ary vita famoamboarana amin'ny fanalefahana miendrika fitaratra sy asa tanana amin'ny sisiny misy vato kely. Ampahany roa lehibe no mamorona ity haingo ity: dhvaja haingo iray ary fitoerana mihidy tsara. Ny dhvaja dia ahodina malefaka mba hanalana azy amin'ny rojo, ka azo apetraka ao anatiny ny zavatra toy ny volo, soratra masina, na taratasy. Ny endrika manohitra ny rano dia ahafahana manao azy hatramin'ny ela.
