    national flag of india

    The national flag of India is a rectangular horizontal tricolor design with saffron at the top, white in
    the middle, and green at the bottom, and a wheel of dharma (dharmachakra) in the center.

     The saffron band indicates the courage and strength of the country.
     The white band with the navy blue Ashoka Chakra indicates truth and peace.
     The dharma wheel can be found in most of the major religions of India. Each spoke of the
    wheel symbolizes a principle in life and together they symbolize the 24 hours of a day,
    which is why it is also known as the 'Wheel of Time'.
     The green band signifies the goodness of the earth, as well as fertility and growth.

    The flag was chosen in its current form during a meeting of the Constituent Assembly in 1947 and
    has been the national flag of the Dominion of India ever since. By law, it must be made from a
    special hand-spun fabric called 'khadi' or silk, made popular by Mahatma Gandhi. It is always flown
    with the saffron band on top. The flag should never be flown at half-staff on Independence Day,
    Republic Day, or state-formation anniversaries, as it is considered an insult to the flag and the
    nation.

    indian shield of arms

    The Indian coat of arms consists of four lions (symbolizing pride and royalty), standing on a
    pedestal with the Ashoka Chakra on each of its four sides. In the 2D view of the symbol, only 3
    of the lions' heads can be seen, as the fourth is hidden from view.

    The chakras come from Buddhism and represent honesty and truth. On each side of each chakra
    there is a horse and a bull that signify the strength of the Indian people.

    Below the symbol is a very popular verse written in Sanskrit which means: Truth alone triumphs.
    Describes the power of truth and honesty in religion and society.

    The symbol was created by the Indian emperor Ashoka in 250 BC. C., who only had a piece of
    finely polished sandstone to sculpt it. It was adopted as the coat of arms on January 26, 1950,
    the day India became a republic, and is used on all kinds of official documents, including the
    passport, as well as on Indian coins and banknotes.
    The Bengal tiger

    Native to the Indian subcontinent, the majestic Bengal tiger is among the largest wild cats in the
    world today. It is the national animal of India and plays an important role in the history and
    culture of India.

    Throughout history, the Bengal tiger has been a symbol of power, magnificence, beauty and
    fierceness, while also being associated with valor and bravery. According to Hindu mythology, it
    was the vehicle of Goddess Durga who is typically depicted on the animal's back. In the past,
    hunting a tiger was considered the greatest act of bravery by nobles and kings, but now it is
    considered illegal.

    Known as the 'Royal' Bengal Tiger in the past, this magnificent animal is currently facing the
    threat of extinction due to poaching, fragmentation and habitat loss. Historically, they were
    poached for their fur which, even today, is illegally sold in certain parts of the world.
