Mysore - or (since 1973) Karnataka, State, S India; capital Bangalore; 74,037 square miles. Title: Maharajah.
Jarig Bakker, 12 November 1998
The flag of Mysore was red over brun with arms in the centre. The image above, without arms, is incorrect and this falg was never official. The colours of the flag are defined in French as "rouge brique sur brun" [brick red and brown]. As far as I know the brown is a light maroon (perhaps like the golden shown in Flaggenbuch) and I speculate that the flag can in fact be red over golden. Remember that some months ago Nozomi Kariyasu travelled to Bangalore (capital of Mysore/Karnataka and he saw many red over yellow flags.

Brun is brown, so I would say maroon rather than golden.
