National Flag of India
The national flag of India has three horizontal stripes - saffron, white and green and a small 'chakra' or wheel with 24 spokes taken from the emblem of Lion capital of Ashok of Sarnath. The three colors in the flag has its own meaning. Saffron color represents courage and sacrifice. White is for peace and truth. Green means faith and chivalry.
