The flag

Indore had as ruler a prince with the title of "Holkar", but in English maps Indore appeared as the realm of Holkar. (Like Hyderabad was named the Nizam's realm). Ziggioto (1998) shows a long flag red over white with the state emblem to the hoist - I dare say: an extremely complicated emblem.
