Flag of Tamil Nadu
At present there is no official flag for the state of Tamil Nadu in India. A flag was proposed for the state in 1970 but was not formally adopted at that time. 1970 flag proposal The Government of Tamil Nadu proposed a design for a state flag in 1970. The proposed design was grey with the flag of India in the canton and the Emblem of Tamil Nadu in the fly. It was proposed by newly elected Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam party. At the time the proposal was opposed by the Chief Ministers of several other states and it was not officially adopted. Government banner The Government of Tamil Nadu can be represented by an image of the emblem of the state placed onto a white background. The emblem consists of the National Emblem of India flanked on either side by an Indian flag.
