The "Tiranga," or Tricolor, is the national flag of India. It features three horizontal stripes: saffron at the top, white in the middle, and green at the bottom. The saffron represents courage and sacrifice, the white symbolizes peace and truth, and the green stands for faith and chivalry. In the center of the white stripe is the Ashoka Chakra, a 24-spoke wheel that signifies the eternal wheel of law. The Tiranga was adopted as the national flag on July 22, 1947, just before India gained independence from British rule. It is a symbol of national pride and unity, often displayed during national holidays and events. The flag is treated with great respect, and specific guidelines govern its display and handling.
