Today is National Flag Day of India. Before independence, the Constituent Assembly, which met on July 22, 1947, adopted the tricolor as the national flag.
This national flag has three colors so it is also called tricolor. The national flag of India was designed by Pingali Venkya. The national flag chosen by the Constituent Assembly in 1947 was designed by Pingali Venkya based on the flag of the Indian National Congress.
The national flag of India has three horizontal stripes, with saffron at the top, white in the middle and green at the bottom. Also, the national flag has a blue colored Ashoka Chakra in the center of the white color in the middle, which has 24 spokes. This Ashoka Chakra is taken from the Simhakriti Ashoka Pillar of Sarnath. The diameter of the Ashoka Chakra is 3/4 of the width of the white belt. The width and length of this flag is in the ratio of 2:3.
