Shivaji-inspired new naval ensign unveiled
Hindustan Times
|September 03, 2022
KOCHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday unveiled a naval ensign at the commissioning ceremony of aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, with the new flag drawing inspiration from the seal of Maratha king Chhatrapati Shivaji and the Cross of St George being dropped a move that the PM described as getting rid of the burden of a colonial past.
The new ensign consists of the national flag in the upper left canton, and a navy blue-gold octagon at the centre of the fly. A blue octagonal shape with the national emblem sits atop an anchor, superimposed on a shield. Below the shield, within the octagon, is inscribed the motto of the Indian Navy "Sam No Varunah" (a prayer to the God of the sea, Varuna).
