Two states of the Paon Dynasty both use (according to
Filcher, 1984) the dynastic flag of Paon -
horizontal bicolor - yellow over blue with the representation of the peacock
with open tail, in natural colors placed slightly toward the hoist but facing
the fly. Colouring the flags is beyond my abilities.

These states, together with Baudh and Dispalla ( which have flags of their
own), also use so-called war flag of Paon Dynasty, which is a yellow-blue
bicolor with identical Coat-of Arms in the center. The only difference are the
initials of the particular Sovereign on the shield and the name of the state, in
Devangari script, on the ribbon below the shield.
