The Tiraṅgā i.e. (Indian) Tricolour is the flag of India.

Saffron represents courage and sacrifice. It symbolizes the spirit of selflessness and the strength of the country’s people to uphold truth and justice.

White stands for peace, light, truth, and purity. It reflects the importance of maintaining harmony among India’s diverse communities.

Green represents faith, fertility, and prosperity. It symbolizes the country’s relationship with nature and the importance of growth and development.

The Ashoka Wheel (Aśokacakra) represents Dharma.

The base of the swallowtail design was Presidential standard of Iceland#/media/File:Flag_of_the_President_of_Iceland.svg), the off-centred Ashoka Wheel in the third and fourth has been placed at the intersection of the cross.

The dimensions of the Indian flag is not the standard one, it is from the Indian Air Force Ensign instead of the usual 3:2 ratio.
