One of the flags at Shri Badrinath Temple.
Why are a lot of flags associated with religion triangular?
Perspectives :

All the Hindu flags are triangular as they represent the Tridev - brahma, vishnu and mahesh. As per hindu mythology the universe is balanced on three points, one to each of the three gods. The triangle represents the same.
Its only a guess but seems fairly correct :)

you made me curious to ponder what is the significance of a triangular flag? so i asked my nani maa.. she said that a religious flag represents sovereignty of the supreme (god) and there are reasons to have three cornered flag, the main reason being the value assigned to number 3 in hindu myths and religion, namely:
1) the religious flag represents the three lok (worlds) at god's disposal. namely- akaash (the heaven), dharti (the earth) and pataal (the hell??) at its three arms.
2) the three corners of the flag signify the time ie the past, present and the future. and the flag as a whole marks the eternal nature of the deity/ religion in question.
3) it also denotes the body, mind and soul- three elements of life under surveillance of god.

.i would think that maybe with the point of the triangle facing outward...gives a sense of searching for a point..or fixing ones mind on a point...
