Frequently Asked Questions
What size flag should I order?
This flag is available in 60×90 cm (approx. 2×3 ft) and 90×150 cm (approx. 3×5 ft). The 90×150 cm (3×5 ft) size is the standard outdoor display size — it's what you typically see on a 5–6 ft residential flagpole and large enough to read clearly from the street. The 60×90 cm (2×3 ft) size works well on a shorter 4 ft pole, mounted on a wall bracket, or for indoor display on a desk stand. If you're flying it outdoors next to other flags, match sizes — a 3×5 ft next to a 4×6 ft looks mismatched.
Can I fly this flag outdoors? How long will it last?
Yes — nylon is the better material for continuous outdoor flying. It dries faster than polyester after rain and holds color better under UV exposure. Expect 12–18 months of good color if flown daily in normal conditions. The fly end (the free edge opposite the pole) will typically start to fray first — that's normal wear, not a defect. Bring it inside during extended storms or winds above 30 mph to maximize lifespan.
How do I hang or display this flag?
This flag has two brass grommets on the left (header) side — one near the top corner and one near the bottom corner. Standard flagpole clips attach directly to these. For a wall mount, use two screw hooks spaced to match the grommet distance. The grommets are reinforced with a canvas header strip so they won't pull through with normal use. If attaching with rope, use a bowline knot — it holds tension without slipping and doesn't damage the grommet.
Are the colors accurate? Is this single-sided or double-sided?
The flag is printed using dye-sublimation, which bonds the ink directly into the fabric rather than sitting on top of it. This is a double-sided flag — both sides are printed, so the design is visible from either direction. The colors are accurate to the official flag specification. Note that on double-sided flags, each side is a separate printed panel sewn together, so there is a slight seam down the middle when held up to strong light — this is normal construction, not a defect.
How do I wash and store this flag?
Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent. Nylon flags can be machine washed on a gentle/delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag to prevent the grommets from banging against the drum. Air dry only — heat from a dryer can shrink the header canvas and warp the grommets. Do not iron directly on the fabric; if you need to remove wrinkles, use a steamer or a cool iron through a damp cloth. Store folded in a breathable bag — plastic bags trap moisture and cause mildew on the header strip.
What does the India flag symbolize?
The saffron band represents courage and sacrifice; white stands for peace, truth, and purity; the green symbolizes faith, chivalry, and the prosperity of the land. The navy blue Ashoka Chakra at the center — a 24-spoked wheel — represents dharma (righteousness) and the perpetual wheel of law, with each spoke representing one hour of the day, symbolizing that progress never stops.
How should I display the India flag correctly?
Under India's Flag Code 2002, the flag must always be displayed with the saffron stripe at the top — flying it upside down is considered disrespectful. It should never touch the ground, be used as clothing, or be flown tattered or dirty. Civilians may fly the flag on any day of the year. When displayed alongside state flags, the national flag takes the position of honor.
