The temple flag, or dhwaja, carries profound significance from the days of the Mahabharata to today’s India, embodying traditions of valor, divinity, and unity. Its meaning and influence have evolved but remain a powerful symbol in both spiritual and national contexts.

Historical Roots in the Mahabharata

Flags have played a vital role in ancient Indian epics, notably the Mahabharata. Warriors identified themselves and sought blessings through their banners: Arjuna’s chariot bore the Kapidhwaja, featuring Hanuman as a symbol of strength and divine favor; Ashwatthama’s flag showed a lion’s tail, and Lord Shiva’s banner had a bull.

These flags were not mere identifiers but invoked protection, victory, and association with specific divine virtues. In ancient warfare, flags also rallied troops and signaled faith and resolve in battle.

Spiritual and Symbolic Meaning

Beyond their martial use, temple flags represent the presence and glory of the deity within a temple. They are believed to indicate the constant flow of divine energy from the cosmos to the sanctum; hoisting a dhwaja marks a place as sacred and invites blessings for those in the vicinity.

Colors and emblems align with spiritual concepts and the deity’s attributes. The orange flag, for example, is a reminder of renunciation and humility. The act of raising the flag symbolizes victory over ego and desires, echoing themes from epic narratives.​

Modern Significance

In contemporary India, the flag atop Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir during the Dharma Dhwajarohan Utsav stands as a restoration of cultural pride and a declaration of national unity and spiritual renaissance. Today, the flag transcends religious boundaries. It is a bridge between the ancient and the modern, a sign of peace, prosperity, and truth.

Leaders like Prime Minister Narendra Modi have called the dhwaja the pinnacle of India’s consciousness, linking its imagery to the nation’s aspirations for inclusivity and progress. The flag now also serves as a reminder to reclaim indigenous symbols, breaking free from colonial legacies and empowering communal harmony and spiritual growth.

विराजत्युद्गतस्कन्धः कोविदारध्वजो रथे
Fearing war, he wonders: अपि नौ वशमागच्छेत् कोविदारध्वजो रणे
Today, Ayodhya reclaims its ancient emblem & pride.
