 National Symbols
• The National Flag is a horizontal tricolour of
deep saffron (kesaria) at the top, white in
the middle and dark green at the bottom in
equal proportion. The ratio of width of the
flag to its length is two to three. In the centre
of the white band is a navy-blue wheel which
represents the chakra. Its design is that of
the wheel which appears on the abacus of the
Sarnath Lion Capital of Ashoka. Its diameter
approximates to the width of the white band
and it has 24 spokes. The design of the
National Flag was adopted by the Constituent
Assembly of India on 22 July 1947.
 state emblem
• The state emblem is an adaptation
from the Sarnath Lion Capital of
Ashoka. In the original, there are four
lions, standing back to back, mounted
on an abacus with a frieze carrying
sculptures in high relief of an
elephant, a galloping horse, a bull
and a lion separated by intervening
wheels over a bell-shaped lotus.
Carved out of a single block of
polished sandstone, the Capital is
crowned by the Wheel of the Law
(Dharma Chakra).
