Description of the flag

The flag of the State of Jagdishpur is shown at http://www.uq.net.au/%7Ezzhsoszy/ips/j/jagdishpur.html. This state was in today's Kaimur district in Bihar state, India, in the former Shahabad district.

The flag is quartered gold and red, with a central white disk with a black line of a wolf's head(?) surrounded by Hindi script.

Under the British Raj zamindars were large landholders with some governmental responsibilities but they were not equivalent to the rulers of Princely States. There were under the direct authority of either the British administration or one of the actual Princely States.
