From 1906 To 1947: Evolution Of India’s Tricolor

The National Flag, officially adopted on 22 July 1947, has a rich history symbolizing the nation’s journey. Its first hoisting took place in Kolkata on 7 August 1906, featuring red, yellow, and green stripes with ‘Vande Mataram’. In 1931, saffron, white, and green were chosen, and the Ashoka Chakra replaced the spinning wheel in 1947.
