Actually, till then there was no national flag available. Both the representatives designed 03 deferent types of tricolor national flags made out of the silk dresses of Madam Cama. One flag was designed horizontal, another was designed vertical. Four things were common in all the flags designed. Green, Yellow and Red colors, symbols of Sun and Crescent, at centre VANDEMATARAM.
