OUR
INCREDIBLE INDIA
NATIONAL
FLAG
The
National flag is a horizontal tricolour of deep
saffron (kesari) at the top, white in the middle
and dark green at the bottom in equal proportion.
The ratio of width of the flag to its length is
two to three. In the centre of the white band is a
navy blue wheel which represents the chakra.
Its design is that of the wheel which appears on
the abacus of the Sarnath Lion Capital of Ashoka.
Its diameter approximates to the width of the
white band and it has 24 spokes.
The
design of the national flag was adopted by the
Constituent Assembly of India on 22 July 1947. Its
use and display are regulated by the Indian Flag
Code.
