Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (Maharashtra Reconstruction Army), a regional 
political party which operates in the state of Maharashtra, was founded in 2006 
by former members of Shiv Sena party[1]. Its flag has a saffron 
field, which is probably derived from the saffron flag of Shiv Sena, but with 
addition of blue and green stripes along the top and bottom edges, respectively. 
The stripes are separated from the field by white fimbriations. According to the 
photos from the Wikipedia[1] and from the website of Maharashtra 
Navnirman Vidhyarthi Sena (Maharashtra Reconstruction Students' Army), the 
student wing of the party[2], the flag may have the aspect ratio of 
either 1:2 (see image above) or 2:3 (see image below), and it seems that neither 
of these prevails. The width of blue and green stripes and white fimbriations 
also seem to vary sometimes (generally, they are as on the attached images). On 
the other hand, the colour shades seem to be very uniform, although the cited 
sources show flag images with the shades which sometimes differ a great deal 
(however, these are not confirmed by the photos, whose shades are followed by 
the attached images).
