Keralan nationalists resisted inclusion in India and attempted to declare the region independent in August 1947. Nations Without States calls a horizontal tricolor of red, yellow and turquoise "the Keralan national flag, the traditional flag of the state."
Ned Smith, 10 March 2001

The flag is also shown on Wikipedia, although the colors are a bit different. Also shown there is a "flag" labeled "The logo of the Perumbadapu swaroopam," that being the royal house that ruled over Kochi.
