This section introduces you to the National Identity Elements of India. These
symbols are intrinsic to the Indian identity and heritage. Indians of all
demographics backgrounds across the world are proud of these National Symbols
as they infuse a sense of pride and patriotism in every Indian's heart.
National Flag The National Flag is a horizontal tricolour of India saffron
(kesaria) at the top, white in the middle and India 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. The top saffron colour, indicates the strength and courage of the
country. The white middle band indicates peace and truth with Dharma Chakra.
The green shows the fertility, growth and auspiciousness of the land. 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. More on National Flag...
