Overview

Paistrys (Panevezys District) - on blue field lowered wavy bar, above three silver shrines with hanging 10 golden little bells. Flag proportions 5:6, free edges bordered with golden rope, finial is golden knob with golden bands. The wavy bar means Istras rivulet, from which the name of borough originates. The shrines are located on the Dale of  Little Bells, and bells mean the local custom of hanging little bells on those shrines when a commemoration of sculptor Juozas Zikaras is performed.
