Starting in 1519, India is Fractured into Several Hindu and Muslim Ruled Empires. Babur the Timurid begins his invasion from Afghanistan. The Portuguese, the first European traders to establish trade colonies in India, have begun their wars against the Muslims. Gunpowder is relatively new and having a strong effect on the peasant and elephant armies traditional to medieval India. =Simpler Submods for a 1725AD and 327BC start date are also in progress.

Faction symbols in short (not flags)
I've already shared some of them
Vijayanagara empire
The Varaha(boar) with dagger and sun
Gajapati Kingdom
The elephant
Mysore Kingdom
Gandaberunda - two headed mythological Hindu eagle
Mughal empire
The rising Sun lion
Mewar kingdom
The mustached Sun God with rays
Delhi,Bengal Gujarat Sultanates
Crescent moon symbolism with respective colors
Marwar kingdom
Trishul wielding falcon with panchranga(rainbow) background
Arghunid Sultanate
No available sources on symbols atleast as far as my research revealed
A good guess would be the Ilkhanate flag with red square on yellow background.
As for the Deccan Sultanates I'll see what I can dig on them
Considering the lack of sources and with the available info, Golconda can have the bright turquoise background with some black crescent moon and maybe the ahmednagar can have dark green background with white crescent moon
KingKorgoth
huzurat

Mysore Kingdom
Ruled by the wodeyars who claim to be Yaduvamshis...descendants of Yadu(son of Yayati) and Krishna
Their royal insignia featured the two headed mythological eagle "Gandaberunda" very much similar to the eagle of the Holy Roman empire and its successor states/empires(like Austian empire and Kingdom of Prussia)
Apart from this other flags with a chakra of vishnu also can be used...since the chakra symbolises Krishna's most potent weapon the sudarshan chakra
