The caption on the web page relates: Flags in various hues and colours, with their symbols, belonging to the Democratic Peoples Alliance partners of Tamil Nadu for the ensuing parliamentary election, the dates for which are yet to be announced by the Election Commission, being displayed at the Saidapet Panagal Building in Chennai, on February 24, 2004.

The interesting flag here is the blue-yellow-red tricolour between the DMK black/red and the H&S of the CPI(M) which from this site can be determined to be the
flag of the PMK, Pattali Makkal Katchi, a Tamil Nadu party based in the Vanniyar community.
