I need to include a triangle as background on a div using css.

enter image description here

Need to add the triangle to the top right corner of a div and make text flow over it. Can we achieve this with plain css without using an image?

you can try adding pseudo element to the box, and then using borders create triangle, check below snippet:

.box{
  width: 500px;
  height: 300px;
  background: #233058;
  padding: 20px 40px;
  position: relative;
  z-index:-1;
}

.box:before{
  content: '';
  width: 0px;
  height: 0px;
  background: transparent; 
  position: absolute;
  right: 0px;
  top: 0px;
  display: block;
  z-index: 100;
  border-left: 80px solid transparent;
  border-bottom: 150px solid transparent;
  border-right: 150px solid rgba(70, 88, 158, .5);
  border-top: 80px solid rgba(70, 88, 158, .5);
  z-index: 0;
}

h1, P{
  color: white;
  font-family: Arial;
  font-weight: lighter;
  position: relative;
  z-index: 999;
}

p{
 font: 1.5em sans-serif; 
}
<div class="box">
  <h1>Request and instance</h1>
  <p>Need to add the triangle to the top right corner of a div and make text flow over it. </p>
</div>

You could apply a pseudo element or nest additional divs in your container to get the triangle in the top right position behind the text.

See https://css-tricks.com/examples/ShapesOfCSS/ for examples of css you would need.
