Pudukkottai is situated northeast of Madurai, with a surface of 3.000 sqkm
and 400.000 inhabitants. The state was founded by Ragunatha Raya Tondaiman in
1680. The Tondaiman always supported the English against the French and Tippu
Sahib and were rewarded by the right to 11 gun-salutes.
The flag: on a green field a white leopard holding a flag with in the center the
figure of the ape-god Hanuman in white (like on the crest of the arms).
The green color is from the standard of the Muslim nabob of Banganapalle with
the famous sword named Dhu 'l-Faqar in white. A state separated from
Mysore in 1790, nominally annexed by Hyderabad under British administration from
1831 until 1848. Represented 275 sq.miles and a population of 39,239. Formerly
in the Madras Presidency, today in Andhra Pradesh. 9 guns.

Dhu 'l-Faqar is also spelled Zulfikar, and was widely shown on Ottoman flags,
inter alia. See this page for reference.
