Flag of India
The National Flag of India is a horizontal rectangular tricolour of deep
saffron, white and India
green; with
the Ashoka
Chakra, a
24-spoke wheel, in navy blue at its centre. It was adopted in its present form
during a meeting of the Constituent
Assembly held on
22 July 1947, when it became the official flag of the Dominion of India. The flag was subsequently
retained as that of the Republic of India. In India, the term "tricolour" (Hindi: तिरंगा, Tiraṅgā) almost always
refers to the Indian national flag. The flag is based on the Swaraj
flag, a flag of the Indian National Congress designed by Pingali Venkayya.
The flag, by law, is to be made of khadi, a special type of hand-spun
cloth, or silk made popular by Mahatma Gandhi. The manufacturing process and
specifications for the flag are laid out by the Bureau of Indian Standards. The right to manufacture the
flag is held by the Khadi Development and
Village Industries Commission, who allocate it to the regional groups. As of 2009,
the Karnataka Khadi Gramodyoga Samyukta
Sangha has been
the sole manufacturer of the flag.
