Flag, standard and emblem
A place inside Pakistan does not invent its own visual language. It speaks the national one and adds a single mark of its own. Everything below is built on that rule.
- Green — #01411C
- The national green. Islam, and the standing crop of the kaddhi.
- The white hoist band
- One quarter of the length, exactly as on the flag of Pakistan, with a thin gold fillet at its inner edge to mark it as a local colour rather than the national one.
- The crescent
- White, opening toward the fly. Faith, and progress.
- The seven-pointed star
- The one departure from the national design, and the whole point of the flag: seven points for the seven doors of the old circle.
- The gold wheat sheaf
- Three bound stalks in the white band — zaraat and kashtkari, the actual economy of this ground, in the colour of grain at harvest and of the Mughal takht.
The four quarters
| Quarter | Charge | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| I | Wheat sheaf | The staple crop of the bank |
| II | Kinnow and leaves | Kot Momin’s citrus, the cash crop |
| III | Three waves | The Chenab, two kilometres east |
| IV | Mughal gateway | The takht and the seven doors |
Motto
دین · دریا · دھرتی
Deen, Darya, Dharti — faith, the river, the land. Three words, in the order the place was built.
Rules for use
- Green is the ground, white is the light, gold is the voice.
- Gold never touches white directly without a green edge between them.
- The crescent and star are white on the flag and gold on the seal — never the other way round.
- Do not tint, gradient, outline or rotate the crescent on the flag.
- Keep clear space of at least half the hoist band on every side.
