  Saffron depicts the sacrifice, green depicts the fertility of the country and the white depicts peace. The chakra is called the dharmachakra, which represents the dharma of the country.

• Question

  How do I make the saffron color?

  

  Community Answer

  Adding yellow to red makes orange, and saffron is a shade of orange. You just have to add yellow a little at a time until you've got the shade you want.
