Manohar Dasji campaigned with Maharaja Man Singhji The Great for the Mughal King
Akbar for three years (1585 – 1588) in North Western India & Afghanistan,
culminating with the capture of Kabul & the defeat of the four major Afghan
tribes including the Yusufzai and Mandar. Manohar Dasji’s battle trophies of
enemy standards and colours were presented to Man Singhji with the request that
they be incorporated in the Jaipur Colours. This Man Singhji did with pleasure
and thus was created the Amber (Jaipur) ‘Panchranga’. The Red, Yellow, Green and
Dark Blue have been taken from the captured Standards and the White from the old
Jaipur Colours of the Kachnar Tree (Bauhinia variegata) in full bloom in the
middle on a white backdrop. He also granted Manohar Dasji and his descendants
the privilege of carrying the Old Jaipur Colours with a small ‘Panchranga’ in
the top flag pole corner. The original Amber flag, the Kachnar Dhvaj, was Lord
Ram’s pennant, as described by Pt. Bhavabhuti the celebrated 8th century
Sanskrit poet and playwright in his epic “Uttararamacharita”. It’s worthwhile
noting, that modern TV soap operas ahistorically show Lord Ram’s flag as a sun
against a white backdrop, an incorrect prop to depict him as a king of the
Rajput Solar Dynasty.
