The Kannada Flag (Kannada: ಕನ್ನಡ ಬಾವುಟ) is the de facto, linguistic, cultural and ethnic flag of the Kannadigas. The bicoloured flag has two equally divided horizontal bars, yellow above and red below. The yellow and red colours in the flag stand for Turmeric and Vermilion which signifies auspicious, well being, peace and courage. The flag is used across the world by Kannadigas for Kannada-centric programs and movements. The flag appears on official website of the Government of Karnataka. It is also hoisted every year by the Chief Minister of Karnataka on Karnataka Rajyotsava day.
