When you say under Russian rule, do you mean as a puppet state, or as a member of the House of Romanov is the reigning monarch?
2) Independent Maharashtra (somewhat like the Bombay Presidency minus Gujarat and Sindh)
A shot in the dark.

I am not really well learned in India but is this not somewhat too Hindu? Bengal does have a large Muslim population (see: Bangladesh).
To be fair, west bengal is majority Hindu. But yeah, Bengal in itself would have 55-45 Islam-Hindu divide.
That kinda looks like Cap's shield... Could you do a flag with some maratha symbols with just a gateway of India on an orange background?
Thanks... Will consider that
Dravidia seems like on track with what I had wanted.... Could you make the sun smaller, and instead of the stars could you add this image?
Okay - buckle up...
2) On Maharshatra, I didn't like what I came up with once I discovered what "presidency" indicated. I had thought it was something specific to the region, but then I saw it was a way that various areas in India had been organized by the British. So, I was thinking of redoing that one anyway and figured it wouldn't be a favorite. Looking into your suggestions, I can't find great maratha symbols. I CAN see that the saffron yellow is the color of choice. So I am down with that. Also, the swallowtail should likely be incorporated. I can do that. I can even throw a silhouette of the gateway of India in there on the flag. Other than that, I'm at a loss. The only thing that looks vaguely appropriate to me would be a talwar perhaps? Maybe a talwar under the gateway and over it, a crescent moon?
3) On Dravidia, I have the virupaksha element isolated, but how can I replace the stars with it? Would you literally want a handful of them arrayed around the sun? I am not sure how that would look, given that they have a straight line bottom edge designed to indicate the ground they are sitting on. I am willing to put it together for you, if you like. I would almost suggest putting the sun behind the virupaksha, except that it would be yellow on yellow. Can you provide a little more guidance?
Here's an attempt at using it with an orangey sun:
Thanks

Thanks sooooo much, dunno what I'd do with this timeline(?) if it weren't for your flags.
For Maharashtra, everything you said is good, but I don't think that the Crescent is required. Gateway of India's silhouette with a talwar under the gateway, with a saffron background would do wonders. And if it isn't too much, could I get two versions, one with the swallowtail and one without it?
And for Dravidia, you are correct. I wanted to ask you to put the Virupaksha in the back, but seems like this is far more better. Thank you so much.
I love making flags. I get obsessive. Take this Maharashtra, for example. Or, take these 4 choices, for example.
Yeah I think this is better.. Could you make the talwar a different color? Probably red if possible? The map looks good, but there are only two colors.
I hope I'm not too cheeky, but...
Can anyone make a quartered coat of arms using this two, please?
Thanks in advance.
