The Flag of Punjab is the flag of the Province of Punjab within Pakistan. The Punjab provincial flag is green and shows the provincial emblem in the centre which reflects Punjab's natural resources like its wheat crop, and the five rivers which give the province its name in Persian (from Punj = Five, Aab = Waters).[1][2] The inscription below in a crescent scroll reads Government of Punjab in Shahmukhi alphabets of Punjabi.[3][4] The flag uses the Pakistani national colours, white and dark green, colors that reflect the Islamic heritage of Pakistan.[5]
