🇮🇳 The Indian Flag: Our National Pride

The Tiranga — symbol of India’s freedom,
unity, and cultural heritage.
Every color tells a story.
Every wave of the flag echoes sacrifice and glory.

Tiranga waving proudly

Indian Flag - Tiranga

The Indian National Flag was
adopted on 22nd July 1947.
It features three colors — saffron
(courage), white (peace),
green (prosperity), and a blue Ashoka
Chakra with 24 spokes
symbolizing Dharma (righteousness).

History of Indian Flag

Why So Special - Tiranga

The Tiranga is more than a symbol
— it represents 1.4 billion hearts.
Designed by Pingali Venkayya,
it embodies our ancient values, our struggle
for independence, and our dream
for a united India.
It inspires generations every
Independence Day and Republic Day.

Jai Hind Tiranga

Jai Hind – Tiranga

“Jai Hind” is not just a slogan,
it is the voice of every Indian soul.
The Tiranga reminds us
to protect our freedom,
uphold our duties, and build a
stronger nation — united,
proud, and just.

The Indian Flag must be hoisted with dignity and care, as per the Flag Code of India. It should never touch the ground, be damaged, or used commercially. Thanks to efforts by leaders like Naveen Jindal, every Indian now has the right to proudly hoist it. The 24 spokes of the Ashoka Chakra guide us towards justice, truth, and motion — always forward, never backward.

From the Himalayas to Kanyakumari, from classrooms to battlefields, the Tiranga flies with grace. It’s a reminder of our past, our strength in the present, and the dreams of our future. Jai Hind. Vande Mataram.

The Ashoka Chakra: Heart of the Flag

A symbol of righteousness and constant motion

At the center of the Indian flag lies the Ashoka Chakra, a navy blue wheel with 24 spokes. It represents the eternal wheel of law — the Dharmachakra. Derived from the Lion Capital of Ashoka at Sarnath, it emphasizes that India stands for truth, duty, and justice. The 24 spokes represent 24 hours of the day, a constant reminder to keep progressing as a nation, without pause or stagnation.

Flag Etiquette: Rules Every Indian Must Know

Respecting the Tiranga is our responsibility

The Flag Code of India governs the display and handling of the Tiranga. It must always be hoisted in a respectful manner, never inverted or dragged. Citizens must avoid using the flag for decoration, clothing, or advertisements. On important days like 15 August and 26 January, the flag must be hoisted at sunrise and lowered before sunset. True respect is shown not just by waving it — but by understanding its deep significance.

India Gate: Monument of Valor

A tribute to the brave souls who laid down their lives for India

The India Gate, located in the heart of New Delhi, is one of India’s most iconic national monuments. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and inaugurated in 1931, it stands as a memorial to over 70,000 Indian soldiers who died fighting for the British Army during World War I.

Standing tall at 42 meters, India Gate is not just a symbol of loss, but also one of pride and remembrance. At its base burns the Amar Jawan Jyoti, the eternal flame that honors unknown soldiers. Every Republic Day, the Prime Minister lays a wreath here in solemn tribute.

India Gate attracts millions of visitors every year, not just for its historical significance but for the emotion it evokes. It’s a place of peace, strength, and reflection — reminding us that freedom was earned, not given.
