In Indian usage, the Tricolour refers specifically to the national flag of India — the tiranga, with its saffron, white, and green horizontal bands and the Ashoka Chakra at the centre. While 'tricolour' generically means any three-colour flag (the French tricolore being the most internationally recognised), in an Indian context it invariably means the Indian national flag. The term carries strong patriotic and emotional weight, particularly in contexts of national celebration, protest, or mourning.
Thousands waved the Tricolour in the stadium as the team walked out to defend the title on home soil.
