The regional flag consists of a blue cloth, at the bottom of which rises a golden stripe highlighting six peaks, which are covered in their upper part by a white border. Above these, and on the blue background, the Southern Cross is placed in white and inclined.
According to the official meaning, the blue color represents the night sky, while the golden peaks symbolize the steppe of the region and the white indicates the snow that frequently falls in winter. The Southern Cross symbolizes the southern position of the region.
