National Anthem - India
"Jana Gana
Mana" is the national anthem of India. Written in highly Sanskritised (Tatsama)
Bengali, it is the first of five stanzas of a Brahmo hymn composed and scored by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore.
It was first sung in Calcutta Session of the Indian National Congress on 27 December 1911.
"Jana Gana
Mana" was officially adopted by the Constituent Assembly as the Indian
national anthem on 24 January 1950.
The original poem written by Rabindranath
Tagore was translated into Hindi-Urdu by Abid Ali.
A formal rendition of the national anthem takes fifty-two
seconds. A shortened version consisting of the first and last lines (and taking
about 20 seconds to play) is also tagged occasionally.

Thou dispenser of India's
destiny.

National Flag - India
The National Flag of India is a horizontal rectangular tricolour of deep saffron, white and India green; with the Ashoka Chakra, a 24-spoke wheel, in navy blue at its centre. It was adopted in its present form during a meeting of the Constituent Assembly held on 22 July 1947, when it became the official flag of the Dominion of India. The flag was subsequently retained as that of the Republic of India. In India, the term "tricolour" (Hindi: तिरंगा, Tirangā) almost always refers to the Indian national flag.
The use and display of national flag are regulated by the Indian Flag Code:
(i) The dipping of the Flag to any person or thing is prohibited.
(ii) No other Flag or Emblem is to be placed above or to the right of the National Flag. If hung in a line, all other flags are to be placed on the left of the National Flag. When flown or raised with other flags, the National Flag must be the highest.
(iii) The flag is not to be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free; when carried in a procession it is to be high on the right shoulder of the standard bearer and carried in front of the procession.
(iv) The saffron stripe should always be at the top when the Flag is displayed from a staff projecting horizontally.
National Flower - India
Lotus ( Nelumbo nucifera) is the National Flower of India. It is a sacred flower and
occupies a unique position in the art and mythology of ancient India and has been an auspicious symbol of Indian culture since time immemorial.
The Lotus, the national flower of India, is a symbol of supreme reality. Hindu religion and mythology portray goddess Saraswathi, the muse of learning, as being seated on a lotus flower. To the Indian psyche, the lotus is more than a flower – it represents both beauty and non-attachment. There is a saying that although it grows in mud, it smells of myrrh.
National Emblem - India
The National Emblem is an adaptation from the Sarnath Lion Capital of Ashoka. In the original, there are four lions, standing back to back, mounted on an abacus with a frieze carrying sculptures in high relief of an elephant, a galloping horse, a bull and a lion separated by intervening wheels over a bell-shaped lotus. Carved out of a single block of polished sandstone, the capital is crowned by the Wheel of the Law (Dharma Chakra). In the National emblem, adopted by the Government of India on 26 January 1950. The wheel appears in relief in the centre of the abacus with a bull on right and a horse on left and the outlines of other wheels on extreme right and left. The words Satyameva Jayate from Mundaka Upanishad, meaning ‘Truth Alone Triumphs’, are inscribed below the abacus in Devanagari script.
