Indian National Flag:

Independence day August 15th

Indian National Flag is a symbol of our freedom and unity. The Tri-Coloured flag was hoisted for the first time at Red fort in Delhi on 15^th August 1947 When India became independent. It was a proud moment for all Indians. It marked the end of British rule in India and the beginning of a new era.

Indian national flag consists of three horizontal bands of different colours. Each colour has a meaning. Saffron at the top stands for courage and sacrifice. White in the middle stands for truth and peace. Green at the bottom stands for prosperity. The Dharma Chakra (Wheel of law) with twenty four spokes is at centre.
