The 'Tiranga
Pyaara' or the tricolour was adopted by the constituent assembly
on 22nd July, 1947. The three colours signify sacrifice, purity
and fertility. The 24 spokes
of the Ashoka Chakra symbolise progress.
The khadi cloth for the national
flag is made at a special handloom centre at Garg in Gadag district
in Karnataka. This is the only place in the country which makes
it as per the specifications written in the constitution. The
authentic flag is dyed in tricolour and sent to Khadi Bhandars
all around the country.
Want to buy an authentic tricolour?
Go to Avenue road and search for that special shop which sells
flags of all sizes. Plastic flags, khadi flags, silk flags,
stickers, patriotic posters - you can buy it all. Otherwise,
there is always the Khadi Bhandar open throughout the year with
special rebates for such occasions.
