The state flag is rectangular in shape and its background color is red with a dark blue canton at the top left corner. A pinion and ears of paddy encircled with fourteen white stars of equal size have been superimposed on the dark blue field of the canton.

The centre of the pinion coincides with the centre of the blue canton. The pinion has fourteen cogs of equal size and within it are two ears of paddy consisting of 34 grains. At the top of each cog of the pinion is a star with five vertices.

 Of the three colors of the flag, red signifies courage and decisiveness, white purity and virtue, and dark blue peace and integrity.
