who designed the national flag of india?

The national flag of India was designed by Pingali Venkayya , an Indian freedom fighter and scholar whose tricolour concept was later adopted (with minor modifications) in 1947.

Quick Scoop: Who Designed India’s Flag?

  • The designer of the national flag of India is Pingali Venkayya.
  • He first presented his flag design to Mahatma Gandhi in 1921 at Bezwada (now Vijayawada).
  • His tricolour concept (saffron, white, green) with a central symbol became the basis of the current Tiranga.
  • In 1947, a committee of the Constituent Assembly retained his design but replaced the spinning wheel with the navy-blue Ashoka Chakra.

In simple terms:
The Indian national flag you see today is built on Pingali Venkayya’s original tricolour idea, refined and officially adopted on 22 July 1947.

A Tiny Bit of Story

Pingali Venkayya was deeply interested in flags and reportedly studied the flags of many nations before proposing one for India. In 1921, he showed Gandhi a design with coloured bands representing communities, and Gandhi suggested adding a white band and a central symbol to represent all Indians. Over the next decades, this design evolved and, just before Independence, was finalised as the national flag with the Ashoka Chakra at its heart.

TL;DR:
The national flag of India (the Tiranga) is credited to Pingali Venkayya, whose 1921 tricolour design inspired the version officially adopted in July 1947.
