Introduction on each trophy:
1st Place: 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 during a meeting of the Constituent Assembly held on 22 July 1947, 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: तिरंगा, Tiranga) almost always refers to the Indian national flag. The flag is based on theSwaraj flag, a flag of the Indian National Congress designed by Pingali Venkayya.
2nd Place: Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal (/ˌtɑːdʒ məˈhɑːl/, more often /ˈtɑːʒ/;[2] from Persian and Arabic,[3][4] "crown of palaces", pronounced [ˈt̪aːdʒ mɛˈɦɛl]; also "the Taj"[5]) is a white marble mausoleum located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. The Taj Mahal's mausoleum complex of white domedmarble is actually an integrated complex of many structures. Construction began sometime around 1632 and was completed in 1653, taking nearly 22 years to build while employing around 20,000 artisans and craftsmen throughout the empire.[6] The construction was entrusted to a board of architects with Ustad Ahmad Lahauri believed to have assumed the role of chief architect.
3rd Place: Diwali
Diwali or Divali (also known as Deepavali, Tihar and the "festival of lights") is an ancient Hindu festival celebrated in autumn every year.[4][5] Diwali is the biggest and the brightest festival in India. The festival spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness.[6][7][8] The festival preparations and rituals typically extend over a five-day period, but the main festival night of Diwali coincides with the darkest, new moon night of the Hindu Lunisolar month Kartika. In the Gregorian calendar, Diwali falls between mid-October and mid-November.
Best of Luck with the tournament and most importantly, have fun!
