The Bhagwa Dhwaj (Marathi: भगवा ध्वज, romanized: bhagvā dhvaj, lit.'saffron flag') is a saffron-colour flag used primarily in Hinduism.

It has been described as "swallow-tailed and of a deep saffron color emblematic of the followers of god Mahādeva".

In modern times, variations of a saffron flag were adopted by Hindu nationalist organisations – the Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha in 1915 and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in 1925; the saffron flag is believed to be a guru, or supreme authority, in the latter.
