Ziggioto (1998) has:
"The flag of the State of Alirajpur was formed by six red stripes alternating with six white stripes, the same colors as Indore State and granted by the prince of that state to the rajah of Alirajpur in recognition of his alliance. The princely standard was the Pancaranga with five stripes: red-white-saffron-green-blue."

From Filcher (1984):

PRINCIPALITY OF ALIRAJPUR
Princely States of Central India, Southern States Agency, Present-day Madhya Pradesh

11 gun salute
Area: 2, 165 sq.km
Acceded to the Union of India on June 15, 1948, Founded in 1437 by Anand Deo

Flag:
"The flag of the Principality of Alirajpur for state usage is composed of six red and six white bands, alternatively, with the red band starting at the top. These two colors symbolize the alliance of the Sovereigns of the Principality of Alirajpur and the Holkar Kingdom of Indore. The princely flag of Indore returns that same sentiment."
