1906 (Calcutta Flag) – The first unofficial national flag, hoisted in Calcutta, featured three horizontal stripes (green, yellow, and red) with symbols like the lotus, sun, moon, and “Vande Mataram” written in Devanagari.

1907 (Berlin Committee Flag) – A modified version of the 1906 flag, this design had a similar tricolor arrangement with “Vande Mataram” inscribed. It was hoisted by Madame Bhikaiji Cama in Paris.

1917 (Annie Besant and Bal Gangadhar Tilak’s Flag) – Introduced during the Home Rule Movement, this flag had red and green stripes with the Union Jack in the top-left corner, along with a crescent, stars, and seven arrows.

1921 (Gandhi’s Flag) – This flag, designed by Pingali Venkayya, featured three colors (white, green, and red) representing different communities, with a charkha (spinning wheel) symbolizing self-reliance.

1931 (Tricolor Flag) – A revised version of the 1921 flag, it had saffron, white, and green stripes with a blue charkha in the center. This flag was adopted as the official flag of the Indian National Congress.

1947 (Current Indian National Flag) – On August 15, 1947, India adopted its present flag with saffron, white, and green stripes and a navy blue Ashoka Chakra (wheel) at the center, replacing the charkha.
