The national flag of Nepal is the only non-rectangular national flag, and one of only two non-rectangular official jurisdictional flags in the world (the other is the flag of Ohio). The flag is a simplified combination of two single pennants from different branches of the previous rulers, the Rana dynasty. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Nepal

The two triangle joined together is traditional Hindu flag. Nepal being a Hindu Kingdom (was till May 18, 2006; now it is secular state)customized the flag somewhat.

Nepal has a flag that is non rectangular because the people of Nepal opted to have a flag that was non rectangular. There is no rule that says a flag has to be a rectangle

The flag of Nepal is like most Hindu flags – a pennon. It is believed that Vishnu, (the supreme God in Vaishnavite tradition of Hinduism), had organised the Nepali people and given them this flag, with the sun and moon as emblems on it. In sporting events, the flag has a white background. http://www.theflagshop.co.uk/nepal-flag-170-p.asp
