The National Flag of India was officially adopted on July 22, 1947, just weeks before India gained independence from British rule on August 15, 1947. The flag was designed by Pingali Venkayya, who envisioned a tricolor flag that would represent the diverse cultures and values of the Indian populace. The adoption of the flag marked a significant moment in India's history, as it symbolized the unity and sovereignty of the nation. The flag has since become a source of pride for Indians, representing their struggle for freedom and their aspirations for a prosperous future. The date of its adoption is celebrated annually, reinforcing the importance of the flag in the national consciousness.
