Sky blue background and a golden sun with 32 rays shining above a golden steppe eagle in the center of the flag; on the side of the flagpole is a national ornament in gold.

Meaning

Blue symbolizes the endless sky under which the people of Kazakhstan unite in the spirit of peace, tranquility and health. Sovereignly hovers a golden steppe eagle (called Berkut) under a golden sun in the center of the flag. It symbolizes freedom, love and hoped-for prosperity of all aspirations of the people of Kazakhstan. On the left side of the flag there is (vertically arranged) a complex ornamental band (a design element which is also somewhat reminiscent of the flag of Turkmenistan).
