Bathouism is a folk religion of the Boro people of Assam in Northeast India.
The basic flag of Bathouism has five horizontal stripes, from top to bottom:
red, blue, white, yellow and green, representing fire, sky, air, earth and water
respectively.

A variant of the flag has the white stripe twice the width of the others,
defaced at the centre with the emblem of Bathouism: a sijou plant fenced with
eighteen pairs of bamboo strips with five fastenings, surrounded by a yellow
ring with eighteen green 'rays' of an elaborate design. The sijou plant
represents the main deity Bathoubwrai, the eighteen pairs of strips represent
the eighteen pairs of minor gods-goddesses. The five fastenings represent, from
bottom to top, birth, pain, death, marriage and pleasure; the bottom three
fastenings form full circles, while the top two fastenings form only half
circles, representing the fact that birth, pain and death cannot be avoided,
while marriage and pleasure can.
