Overview

Daujenai (Pasvalys District) - field quartered red and white, on q.1 and q.3 silver carriage with raised shafts woven with golden hops. Flag proportions 10:11, free edges bordered with red and silver rope, finial is golden knob with ring. The carriage reflects the local folk tale about name of town: during market day in Whit Sunday�so many people arrived that carriages were parked with unbridled horses and raised shafts. People said "daug ienu" ("many shafts"),�so the name Daujenai appeared. The hops mean the old traditions of beer-making.
