Mangifera indica
Mangifera indica, commonly known as mango, is a species of flowering plant in the sumac and poison
ivy family Anacardiaceae. It is found in the wild in Bangladesh, India andPakistan where it is indigenous
and cultivated varieties have been introduced to other warm regions of the world. It is a large fruit-tree, capable

Ficus religiosa
Ficus religiosa is a large dry season-deciduous or semi-evergreen tree up to 30 metres (98 ft) tall and with
a trunk diameter of up to 3 metres (9.8 ft). The leaves are cordate in shape with a distinctive extended drip tip;
they are 1017 cm long and 812 cm broad, with a 610 cm petiole. The fruits are small figs 11.5 cm in
diameter, green ripening to purple. The leaves of this tree move continuously even when the air around is still
and no perceptible wind is blowing. This phenomenon can be explained due to the long leaf stalk and the broad
leaf structure. However, religious minded people in Hindu/Buddhist religion attribute this movement of the
leaves to the fact that "devas" or "gods" reside on these leaves and make it move continuously.
Flag of 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

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: , Tirag) almost always refers to the Indian national flag. The flag is based on
the Swaraj flag, a flag of the Indian National Congress designed by Pingali Venkayya.
