1. What is the width-to-length ratio of the Indian national flag as per the Bureau of Indian Standards?
The width-to-length ratio of the Indian national flag, also known as the Tiranga, is set at 2:3 by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). This ratio is strictly maintained to ensure uniformity and respect across all sizes of the flag, which symbolizes the unity and pride of the nation. The flag features three horizontal stripes in saffron, white, and green, with the Ashoka Chakra at the centre, each element carrying deep symbolic meaning reflecting India's heritage and values.
