Indiana State Flag - Symbolism, History, and Official Design #70237 (License: Personal Use)

The flag features a central golden torch symbolizing enlightenment and liberty, with rays extending outward to 19 five-pointed stars-13 outer stars for the original colonies and 5 inner stars for states admitted before Indiana, plus one large star for Indiana itself as the 19th state. The word “INDIANA” arches above the torch in gold lettering, all set against a solid navy blue field. Designed by Paul Hadley and officially adopted in 1917, it remains one of the few U.S. state flags with no white or red.

Used on government websites, educational resources, civic events, and tourism pages; serves users seeking official state symbols, historical facts, or visual assets for presentations and publications about Indiana.
