The inconvenience to carry a burning substance over long distances may have given rise to the symbol of a saffron flag . Triangular and often forked saffron flags are seen fluttering atop most Sikh and Hindu temples. Modern Hindu organisations usually use saffron triangular flag as a unanimously accepted symbol of Hinduism. However, does the flag or colour have any significance as per authentic Hindu scriptures? Historicity of the Bhagwa flag I know of Marathas and Rajputs using bhagwa flags as their official hoists, but is there some older (Puranic) legend in associating the bhagwa flag with Hinduism? Are there any examples of monochrome flags in scripture? Flags in scripture usually feature animals - Garuda for Vishnu, the bull for Siva, and so forth. Are there any other monochrome flags like the Bhagwa flag mentioned in scripture? scripture war flags Community Bot 1 modified Oct 26 at 0:05
