Celebrating India's diversity, pride, and historical spirit through its tricolor.
The current form of the Tiranga was adopted on July 22, 1947. It features three horizontal stripes—saffron, white, and green—with a navy blue Ashoka Chakra in the center. It represents the dreams and values of every Indian citizen.
On the night of August 14, 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru delivered the iconic "Tryst with Destiny" speech, marking India's freedom. The Tiranga was raised for the first time as the national flag in Independent India.
The Indian National Army, led by Subhas Chandra Bose, played a vital role in the freedom movement. The flag was raised by INA troops in captured territories, symbolizing the assertion of Indian sovereignty.
Every year, on Independence Day, the Prime Minister hoists the Tiranga at the Red Fort in Delhi. This tradition is a powerful reminder of India’s freedom and the sacrifices made to achieve it.
The Indian Flag Code outlines how the Tiranga should be displayed and honored. From government buildings to citizens’ homes, every display of the flag must be done with the utmost respect, signifying our shared national pride.
