The national flag of India is rectangular in shape and consists of three color bands at the top, representing the colors of the Indian Tricolour. Each color is equal in width and has a thin white border. The center band is blue in color, depicting nonviolence, truth, faith, saffron for sacrifice and renunciation of divine authority by the people. It bears a five-pointed star with each point bearing one of these colors: saffron (yellow), vermilion (red), white or green (white). The navy blue background has a diameter of 2.
The Indian National Flag was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on July 22, 1947 when it was officially proclaimed as the national flag, thus making India one of the first countries in the world to adopt a tricolour flag. It is in the proportion of 1:2; divided vertically into three bands — saffron (top), white and green (bottom); there are eight panels in the vertical direction (top to bottom) and eight stripes in each panel; taking together, there are 14 stripes, of which seven are saffron, six white and one green; with a blue Chakra drawn on the white band. The ratio of width to length is 3:2.
The flag was designed by Pingali Venkayya in 1916.
