The National Flag of India, Tricolour
The three colours are deep saffron (kesaria) at the top, white in the middle and dark green at the bottom.
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. (below)
The design of the National Flag was adopted by the Constituent Assembly of India on 22 July 1947.
