The green stands for faith, fertility and the land; it is the colour of the Islam religion. The white is in the centre, symbolizing the hope for unity and peace. In the centre of the white band (representing Christianity) is a blue wheel with 24 spokes. This is the Ashoka Chakra (or "Wheel of Law").
