Indiana State Flag - Official Design, Symbolism, and History #143462 (License: Personal Use)

The Indiana state flag displays a deep blue field with a central golden torch representing liberty and enlightenment, encircled by 19 stars-the outer 13 for the original colonies and the inner 5 for the next five states, with the largest star signifying Indiana as the 19th state. Above the torch, the word “INDIANA” is inscribed in golden capital letters. The design was created by Paul Hadley and officially adopted in 1917, with minor modifications in 1963 to standardize proportions and colors.
