===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The Maharadja of Jodhpur belongs to the tribe of the warlike Radsjputs, whose emblems are mostly five-coloured. | |||
This five coloured field is the Panchranga and is charged with the hawk (kite) representing the tutelary deity Durga who has appeared in that form at many critical times as an augur of good luck. The barley records Sher Shah's saying, after having nearly perished with 80,000 men in the waterless desert of Mewar, the "he had nearly lost the Empire of Hindustan for a handful of barley". | |||
