...the Sanskrit word patākā is used to refer to a similar flag called a do (dhvaja in Sanskrit), which is sometimes referred to as a "dōbanta" (flag), but the distinction between the two is not always clear. Banners are said to have various virtues, and depending on the material, shape, and purpose of their erection, there are various types: giyokuban (tama-no-hata) (banners decorated with jewels), hira-hata (flat silk banners), itobata (banners made of bundles of thread), goshiki-ban (banners of five colors: blue, yellow, red, white, and black), kanjo-ban (so named because they have the merit of kanjo), miyouka-ban (also called senmou-ban, banners erected for the memorial of the deceased), zokumiyoushin-ban (banners erected to pray for the extension of life), and sōfu-ban (banners used in funeral processions). *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "dhvaja" are listed below.
