History of the Flag
The Indian national flag has evolved through several stages since the first national flag was hoisted in 1906. The present design was adopted after India gained independence from British rule.
The flag is based on the Swaraj flag, designed by Pingali Venkayya. The flag must be made of khadi, a special type of hand-spun cloth popularized by Mahatma Gandhi.

The Ashoka Chakra in the center of the white band is a navy blue wheel with 24 spokes. It represents the eternal wheel of law and dharma.
