●  The Ashoka Chakra is a depiction of the Dharma Chakra.

●  It is a wheel represented with 24 spokes.

●  It is so called because it appears on a number of edicts of Ashoka; most prominent being the Lion Capital of Ashoka.

●  The most visible use of the Ashoka Chakra today is at the centre of the Flag of India. It is in a navy blue colour on a white background.

●  It replaced the symbol of chakra (spinning wheel) of the pre-independence versions of the flag.
