The '''flag of [[India]]''' is also called '''Tiranga''', or Tricolor. It consists of three horizontal stripes of equal width: saffron at the top, white in the middle and green at the bottom. At the center is a blue ''chakra'' (wheel) having 24 spokes. The ratio of the width to the length of the flag is two is to three. |
|||
The color saffron symbolizes courage, the color white peace, and the color green prosperity. The ''charkha'' (spinning wheel) originally at the center stood for [[Mohandas Gandhi|Gandhi]]'s spinning wheel, symbolizing self-sufficiency. It was later replaced by the ''Ashoka Chakra'', the "wheel of the law" found in the emblems of the [[3rd century BC]] Mauryan emperor [[Ashoka]]. The 24 spokes of the wheel signifies 24 hours and progress every hour. |
|||
The flag was officially adopted by India's constituent assembly on [[July 22]], [[1947]]. There is an elaborate code of rules governing the correct use and display of the flag. |
