From: https://www.worldatlas.com/flags/tajikistan --
The crown on the flag symbolizes the Tajik people since ‘taj’ in Tajikistan means 'crown.' The seven stars signify the importance of the Tajik magic number "seven" in the country’s traditions – as it is believed to be associated with a symbol of perfection and the embodiment of happiness.

From https://www.rferl.org/a/ussr-ex-soviet-state-symbols-national-emblems-gallery/31043705.html --
The current emblem features sprigs of cotton and wheat, and the country's famous mountains. Sources differ on the meaning of the crown, but according to one interpretation it pays subtle homage to Tajiks' pre-Islamic fire-worshipping heritage by including three small flames. An unspecified book lies open at the base of the emblem.

Wikipedia:
The Pamir Mountains are a mountain range between Central Asia, South Asia, and East Asia, at the junction of the Himalayas with the Tian Shan, Karakoram, Kunlun, and Hindu Kush. They are among the world's highest mountains.

The Pamir Mountains lie mostly in the Gorno-Badakhshan Province of Tajikistan. To the north, they join the Tian Shan mountains along the Alay Valley of Kyrgyzstan. To the south, they border the Hindu Kush mountains along Afghanistan's Wakhan Corridor. To the east, they extend to the range that includes China's Kongur Tagh, in the "Eastern Pamirs", separated by the Yarkand valley from the Kunlun Mountains.

In the 19th century, the British and Russian empires started to fight for their dominance in Asia known as the "great game," but only the small mountains and the small states were once isolated. The British moved from India to Afghanistan to the north during this conflict and the Russians passed through the present territories of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan from the North.
