Marawa Minangkabau

Marawa is a tricolour flag that consists of three vertical charts that feature the colours of the Minangkabau culture: black, red, and gold.

[1] A derivative of the flag is also currently used by Negeri Sembilan, a state in Malaysia with historical and cultural connections with the kingdom.

Ninik mamak is symbolised in black, cerdik pandai in red, and alim ulama in gold.

The Luhak Agam region, whose territory includes Nagari Padang, Pariaman, Bukittinggi, uses the black-gold-red.

The flag was inaugurated in 1895 during the reign of Tuanku Muhammad, following the union of several luaks into a single political entity, with help from the British.

This is the second and current iteration of Negeri Sembilan, since its early formation in 1773 and subsequent breakup several years later.
