    Hello, reader's Being an Indian our nationality is represented by our National Flag. So therefore , I have tried to make An Animated Indian Flag using CSS3 properties.

     

    As Independence Day is arriving , so an idea to make our National Flag came in my mind and therefore I have tried to make it using some animation effects.

     

    As our National Flag have tri-colors in it with a Ashoka Chakra in between the second layer. So now for creating our National flag I have created a div with a class name as flag comprising of all tri-colors classes div nested in it i.e the saffron, white , and green .

     

    As there is a Ashoka Chakra in b/w the second layer , for creating it I have created a div with a “circle” class name and has used 12 span tags for creating the 24 spokes.

     

    As I have also applied animation to the flag which seems that it is waving , so for this I need to make a div with the class as “flag-wave”.

     

    Below is the html code for creating our National Flag :-
    
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    
    <html>
    
    <head>
    
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    
    <title>Animated Indian Flag</title>
    
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css">
    
    </head>
    
    <body>
    
    <div class="container">
    
    <div class="title">Animated Indian Flag</div>
    
    <!-- Flag creation start= -->
    
    <div class="flag">
    
    <div class="saffron flag-item"></div>
    
    <div class="white flag-item">
    
    <!-- =Ashok Chakra Start= -->
    
    <div class="circle">
    
    <span class="bar"></span>
    
    <span class="bar"></span>
    
    <span class="bar"></span>
    
    <span class="bar"></span>
    
    <span class="bar"></span>
    
    <span class="bar"></span>
    
    <span class="bar"></span>
    
    <span class="bar"></span>
    
    <span class="bar"></span>
    
    <span class="bar"></span>
    
    <span class="bar"></span>
    
    <span class="bar"></span>
    
    </div><!-- =Ashok Chakra End// -->
    
    </div>
    
    <div class="green flag-item"></div>
    
    <div class="flag-wave"></div>
    
    </div><!-- =Flag Creation End// -->
    
    </div>
    
    </body>
    
    </html>

    Now for styling our National Flag , I have given position relative to the flag div . As the flag is supported on a stick holding it for creating this stick I have made use of the CSS properties and pseudo-element i.e before and after to the flag div .

     

    As flag is a 3D animated object for displaying it I have used perspective property which defines the no of pixels placed in a 3D element. I have also applied transform , translate and animation property for styling our National Flag.

     

    For giving respective colors to all the three layers , I have set the background color to it.

     

    Now for creating the animation part to the flag-wave class I have added a gradient-effect in the background-image property of CSS3.

     

    For giving waving and air effect over the flag I have used @keyframe property of CSS3 .

     

    For styling the Ashoka Chakra ,I need to set the border-radius to 50% and provided an animation effect to the Ashoka Chakra as rotating using transform :rotate property.Now below is the CSS code for the flag :-

     

    .title{
    
    margin: auto 60px;
    
    padding: 5px;
    
    text-align: center;

    font-weight: 600;
    
    }
    
    .flag {
    
    margin:30px auto;
    
    position: relative;

    background-position: -60% 5px;
    
    }
    
    70% {
    
    background-position: 70% -5px;
    
    }
    
    100% {
    
    background-position: 200% 0px;
    
    }
    
    }

    Conclusion :-

    Hence, therefore our National Flag has been created using CSS3 property.

    Note :- This code will run over Chrome 15.0 version browser.
