Each Pallava king had his own personal banner. For example, Narasimhavarman II used the lion as his emblem and Nandivarman II preferred the Nandi. Under the reign of Paramesvaravarman I was Khatvanga (Skull mace) added to the Pallava emblem.[1] There were probably different Pallava lines, The main line ruled in Kanchipuram and comes from the Simha line (Simhavarman I, Simhavishnu, Narasimhavarman I...). The Simha emblem was inherited from descendants of the Simha line.[2]
