From Filcher (1984):

The state is listed by Soszynski as a "thikana" (vassal) entity, but other sources recognize it as a fully fledged state, with gun salutes even.

THE STATE OF SHAHPURA
Princely States of Rajputana - Rajasthan, Rajasthan Residency
9 Gun Salute
Area: 1, 049 sq. km
Acceded to the Union of India on April 7, 1948

Flag:
"The State of Shahpura uses a flag on the model of the 'Panchranga' of the Rajputs. Its five horizontal bands are ( from the top): green, dark blue, yellow, red and white".

Some months ago I was in vacation in India and I found several flags. I was in a hotel called Shahpura State, owned by the Shahpura maharajah, and full of photos, arms, flags and antiquities. The flag in the photos is not the five stripe flag (shown above), but a simple bicolor of red over green with the arms. This flag and the arms are, I believe, not featured in McMeekin's nor Filcher's books.

I've was in Jaipur in 2004 and stayed in the Hotel "Shapura House" in the west of the pink city. In that hotel there were lances with yellow and green bicolours.
