India's National flag is a tricolor. All the three colors have a great significance. The three colors are at the top, saffron ("kesari") ,in the middle white, and at the bottom, green in equal proportion . The ratio of the width of the flag is two to three. There is a navy blue wheel, ("chakra") in the white band. The wheel, ("chakra") consists of twenty four spokes. Its design is that of the wheel which appears on the abacus of Sarnath Lion Capital of Ashoka. At one time it was also depicted as Bapuji's charkha.
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 of India was adopted by India's constituent assembly on 22nd july, 1947. It's use and display are regulated by a code.The Indian flag was designed as a symbol of freedom. The late Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru called it "a flag not only of freedom for ourselves, but a symbol of freedom to all people."
