Indian Flag
Who designed the flag of India? The design of the flag of India that was first presented in 1921 to Mahatma Gandhi, leader of the All-India Congress, was created by Pingali (or Pinglay) Venkayya . It consisted of the colours associated with the two principal religions, red for Hindus and green for Muslims. On the midnight of the 14-15 August, 1947 after the official declaration of India's Independence in the Central Hall of the Council House (now known as Parliament House) a lady leading a group of 72 women had presented the first Tiranga to Dr. Rajendra Prasad , the Chairman of the Constituent Assembly. The 24 spokes represent the twelve causal links taught by the Buddha and paṭiccasamuppāda (Dependent Origination, Conditional Arising) in forward and then reverse order . The first 12 spokes represent 12 stages of suffering. Next 12 spokes represent no cause no effect.
