Symbolism
In the religion and philosophy of the Ingush people, the Solar emblem (in the center of the flag) represents not only the sun and the universe but also awareness of the oneness of the spirit in the past, present and future. The red recalls the struggle of the Ingush people for existence and in the defense of their homeland. The white symbolizes the divine purity of the thoughts and views of the nation. The green is the symbol of Islam.[3]

The national flag of the Republic of Ingushetia is a rectangular white cloth, in the center of which there is a solar sign in the form of a red circle with three rays emanating from it, each of which ends in an unfinished circle. The ratio of the flag's width to its length is 2: 3.
Along the entire length of the upper and lower parts of the flag, there are two green stripes, each one sixth of the width of the flag. The radius of the inner circle of the solar sign is one-eleventh of the flag's width. The radius of the unfinished circle at the end of the rays of the solar sign is one twenty-fifth of the flag's width. The width of the stripe that forms the circumference of the solar sign is one-eleventh the width of the flag. The width of the solar sign beams is one-twentieth of the flag's width.
One of the rays of the solar sign is located vertically in relation to the length of the flag and is located in the upper part of the State flag of the Republic of Ingushetia. The distance between the top of the unfinished circle at the end of the beams and the outer circle of the solar sign is one-ninth of the flag's width. The rays are distributed evenly around the entire circumference of the solar sign and are directed counterclockwise. "
The Ingush flag was developed and submitted to the competition in 1993 by the initiative group for the preparation of the national elections of the 1st President of the Ingush Republic, which later became the election commission. The author and developer of the flag is Professor Dakhkilgov Ibragim Abdurakhmanovich.
Rationale for symbology
White symbolizes the purity of thoughts and actions characteristic of the people of Ingushetia. Green - the awakening of nature, the abundance and fertility of the land of the republic, as well as Islam, which is professed by the Ingush. Red personifies their difficult centuries-old struggle against injustice, for their survival and the right to live in the land of their ancestors in peace and harmony with neighboring peoples.
The solar sign means the eternal movement of the Sun and the Universe, interconnection, infinity, eternity of all that exists. The arc-shaped rays of the sign are turned counterclockwise, in the direction of the Earth's rotation around the Sun, as well as the Sun around its axis. In this design, the sign is a symbol of well-being, creativity, endless development and prosperity of the people.
