The first 3 words of the Indian National Anthem. Rather than refer to it as "the national anthem" and acknowledging the fact that the ditty doesn't really have a well known name, if any, most people just call it "Jana Gana Mana".
Usage
I was passing by the Nursery school when I heard all the LKG children singing Jana Gana Mana. It sounded cho chweet!
