Dewas Senior

image by Abhijit Malwade

The Dewas Senior flag has a red color background with Hanuman in yellow. (source "History of Pawars of Dewas" 1952). The Hanuman posted is slightly different in some details but I believe that patterns between same flags are frequently manufactured or embroidered with minor differences.
