Tricolor Flag - Firstly any independent nation has its own flag and the flag is a sign of being an independent country. In this case, talking about the Indian national flag, it has three horizontal stripes, saffron at the top, white at the middle and dark green stripe at the bottom and all three are in proportion. The width ratio of this flag is 2 and 3 with its length. There is a dark blue circle in the middle of the white band and this circle is made on Lion's pillar of Sarnath of Ashoka's capital. Its diameter is almost equal to the width of the white band and it has 24 spokes.
