Indiana State Flag - Official Design, Symbolism, and History #3596537 (License: Personal Use)

The Indiana state flag displays a central golden torch symbolizing liberty and enlightenment, encircled by 19 five-pointed stars-13 outer stars for the original colonies, 5 surrounding stars for states admitted before Indiana, and one large star above the torch for Indiana itself. The word “INDIANA” arches over the top star, and rays emanate from the torch to signify progress and hope. Designed by Paul Hadley and officially adopted in 1917, it is one of the few U.S. state flags with no red or white.
