The flag is a tricolour . All the three colours have a great significance. The three colours are at the top, saffron ("kesari") ,in the middle white, and at the bottom, green in equal proportion . The ratio of the width of the flag is two to three. There is a navy blue wheel, ("chakra") in the white band. The wheel , ("chakra") consists of twenty four spokes .Its design is that of the wheel which appears on the abacus of Sarnath Lion Capital of Ashoka.
