the ashoka chakra (the wheel of ashoka) is a depiction of the dharmachakra (the wheel of dharma). the wheel has 24 spokes which represent the 12 laws of dependent origination and the 12 laws of dependent termination. the ashoka chakra has been widely inscribed on many relics of the mauryan emperor, most prominent among which is the lion capital of sarnath and the ashoka pillar. the most visible use of the ashoka chakra today is at the centre of the national flag of the republic of india (adopted on 22 july 1947), where it is rendered in a navy-blue color on a white background, by replacing the symbol of charkha (spinning wheel) of the pre-independence versions of the flag. the ashoka chakra can also been seen on the base of the lion capital of ashoka which has been adopted as the national emblem of india.

when the indian flag is flown on indian territory along with other national flags, the general rule is that the indian flag should be the starting point of all flags. when flags are placed in a straight line, the rightmost flag (leftmost to the observer facing the flag) is the indian flag, followed by other national flags in alphabetical order. when placed in a circle, the indian flag is the first point and is followed by other flags alphabetically. in such placement, all other flags should be of approximately the same size with no other flag being larger than the indian flag. each national flag should also be flown from its own pole and no flag should be placed higher than another. in addition to being the first flag, the indian flag may also be placed within the row or circle alphabetically. when placed on crossed poles, the indian flag should be in front of the other flag, and to the right (observer's left) of the other flag. the only exception to the preceding rule is when it is flown along with the flag of the united nations, which may be placed to the right of the indian flag.
