Product Description

The National Flag of India was adopted in its present form during an ad hoc meeting of the Constituent Assembly held on the 22 July 1947, a few days before India's independence from the British on the 15 August, 1947. It has served as the national flag of the Dominion of India between the 15th of August 1947 and the 26 January 1950 and that of the Republic of India thereafter. The flag is a horizontal tricolour of saffron, white & green. In the centre there is a navy blue wheel with twenty-four spokes known as the Ashoka Chakra, taken from the Ashoka pillar at Sarnath. The flag is also the Indian Army's war flag, hoisted daily on military installations.
