The new state of Karnataka came into being in 1956 as a result of the States Reorganisation Act across India. Karnataka on the first of November every year celebrates on a grand scale what is called Karnataka Rajyotsava,(Karnataka Formation Day),marking the unification of the state and its official establishment. It is a joyous and historical occasion for the state people because it celebrates not only the rich cultural heritage, language, and traditions but also preserves the ethos of Karnataka.

The States Reorganisation Act was implemented in 1956 across India with a view to redefine the Indian states' boundaries on the basis of linguistic and cultural similarities. Prior to 1956, Kannada-speaking regions and their cultural orientation were scattered across the neighboring states of Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala, particularly along the state line and in some places much inside. The Mysore State was formed soon after linguistic unification on November 1, 1956 to retain its cultural dynamism and legacy. The word Kannada is the derivation of Karunadu. Later when Devaraj Urs was the Chief Minister, it was renamed as Karnataka on Nov 01, 1973 after a long passage of time.

Kannada Rajyotsava is designated as a public holiday in Karnataka and the day's festivities typically include the hoisting of the state flag, address by the Chief Minister and Governor to the people, and the singing of the state anthem, "Bharatha Jananiya Tanuja." This day symbolises a sense of unity and pride among its people
In order to retain the cultural identities and take it forward, Deputy CM Sri DK Shivakumar mandated Educational Institutions, factories, It companies etc to hoist Kannada flag on Nov 1, as part of Karnataka Rajyotsava observing certain protocols while hoisting the flag. The proposed protocol is as follows
“The Kannada flag must have yellow on the top and red on the beneath. The flag must be made of Khadi or hand-woven. The shape of the flag must be similar to the Indian flag, and it must be hoisted below the Indian flag. However, there are different sizes of Kannada flags available in the market, and customers can buy according to their needs.”
