Flag of Bharat

Flag of Bharat





Valour and renunciation in air afloat,
as the flag sways in pride,
In virtue of sovereignty.....

For contest by Judy Konos 

My country flag (Bharat was named India later) has three horizontal bars of colours saffron, white and green embossed in the middle with a Navy blue Ashok Chakra (wheel)
Is an emblem of courage, selflessness, peace, purity, greenery and prosperity.
Chakra in middle constantly spins and denotes motion in life, must towards a positive change.

Upma, your flag sounds so beautiful, and your description is magical, an inspiring 7 , I am going to Google it, and thanks for visiting my poem, surrender, I hesitated posting such a sensual write but seems a butterfly with broken wings can still feel lust or was that love? And visiting my poem, I had to get low ...and visiting, the butterfly and dragon. ..
