National Flag of India
The National Flag of India is in
tricolour of deep saffron (Kesari) at the top, white in the middle and dark
green at the bottom in equal propositions.
The flag is a horizontal
tricolour in equal proportion of deep saffron on the top, white in the middle
and dark green at the bottom. The ratio of the width to the length of the flag
is two is to three.
In the centre of the white band,
there is a wheel in navy blue to indicate the Dharma Chakra, the wheel of law
in the Sarnath Lion Capital. Its diameter approximates the width of the white
band and it has 24 spokes.
The saffron stands for courage,
sacrifice and the spirit of renunciation; the white, for purity and truth; the
green for faith and fertility.
The design of the National Flag
was adopted by India's constituent assembly on 22nd July, 1947. It's use and
display are regulated by a code. The Indian flag symbolizes freedom.
The late Prime Minister Pandit
Nehru called it a flag not only of freedom for ourselves, but a symbol of
freedom for all people.
