Tiranga - Pride of India

A symbol of unity, sacrifice, and the spirit of a billion dreams.

Introduction to Tiranga

The Indian National Flag, popularly known as the Tiranga, was adopted on July 22, 1947. It stands tall as a reflection of India’s rich cultural fabric and historical journey to independence.

Symbolism of Colors

Each color in the flag holds deep meaning. The saffron at the top signifies courage and sacrifice, the white band denotes peace and truth, while the green band represents growth, fertility, and faith.

Significance of the Ashoka Chakra

At the heart of the flag lies the navy blue Ashoka Chakra with 24 spokes. It embodies the wheel of law, dharma, and constant movement. A timeless symbol of progress and justice.

Role in National Identity

The Tiranga is more than a flag—it’s an identity. Whether raised on national holidays or carried in protest, it evokes unity, pride, and collective belonging among Indians around the world.

Respecting the Flag

The Flag Code of India guides the proper use and display of the national flag. Every citizen bears the responsibility to uphold its dignity and follow respectful practices while hoisting it.
