What FACTLY found
The portrait behind the Gandhis is a painting titled ‘Madonna Oriflamma,’ created by Nicholas Roerich in 1932 as a symbol of human unity. Roerich referred to the geometric design (three circles within a larger circle) as the “Banner of Peace.” The painting does not have any religious significance.
