Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's rajmudra depiction replaces St George's cross on Indian Navy's new flag - Details
Interestingly, the golden border of the octagon represents the Rajmudra of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the legendary 16th century Maratha warrior, whose vision to establish a swarajya extended beyond the land borders of his empire and dominated the seas through his forts such as the Sindhudurg, Janjira and others

2022 Series Rank Flags

Note: there is contradictory information regarding the position of the stars.
https://assets.thehansindia.com shows the stars near the hoist, while https://indiapressrelease.com and https://alumni.indiannavy.gov.in show the stars near the fly.
The images below follow the latter pattern, in conformity with the rest of the Indian Armed Forces in displaying stars near the fly of the rank flags.)
