The stripes stand for the three divisions of the region namely; (Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh). On the right side of the flag is a white plough with the handle facing the stripes. The ratio of the flag to its width is 3:2. |

The flag is not officially or unofficially the Karanataka Flag. It is actually the flag of a political party, Kannada Paksha, which was formed in 1965 by Mr Ma. Ramamurthy. Though the party did not last long, the flag stayed on, and is now in the sentiments of the people as the flag which represents Karnataka. Now people use this flag for the Kannada Rajotsava and any protests or Kannada-oriented celebrations.
The yellow and red colours in the flag stand for
arshina (
turmeric) and
kumkuma (
vermilion), respectively.
