Flag:
The flag of the Maharajah's of Tehri Garhwal was a horizontal white over green bicolor. The colors represent the snow of the Himalaya and the forests of the State (the green color was also used for the uniforms of the regiments of the state, the "Rifle Regiment of Garhwal", the "Kurmon Gurkhas", etc...). In the center of this flag the crest of the coat of arms is placed in or, which represents an eagle with expanded wings. An identical flag without the crest was in use by all the population of the Principality of Tehri Garhwal.
