Taujenai (Ukmerge District) - on a silver field under a green
head with three silver capitals a black stork with red beak and
legs catching a green snake. Flag proportions 10:11, free edges
bordered with a narrow red stripe, finial is a golden knob, staff
is dark grey. The capitals refer to Taujenai Palace and church,
both of late classicism style. The black stork refers to the rare
black storks (Ciconia nigra) living in the environs, and its
fight with a snake symbolizes good defeating evil.
