The Flag of Pallava (Tamil: பல்லவர் கொடி) was used by the Tamil Pallava Kingdom. The Pallava royal insignia was the Simha (Lion) and Nandi (Bull) which was changeable. Each Pallava king had his own personal banner. Example, Narasimhavarman II used the lion as his emblem and Nandivarman II preferred the Nandi. Under the reign of Paramesvaravarman I was Khatvanga (Skull mace) added to Pallava emblem.[1] There were probably different Pallava lines, The main line ruled in Kanchipuram and comes from the Simha line (Shimavarman I, Simhavishnu, Narasimhavarman I...). The Simha emblem were inherited from descendants of the Simha line.[2]
