The saffron colour atop the flag symbolises courage, sacrifice, renunciation, as well as the unwavering dedication and commitment of the Indian people to their nation’s welfare.
PM Narendra Modi has called on citizens to participate in the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ movement by uploading photos with the Tricolour on harghartiranga.com between August 13th and 15th, 2023, in preparation for Independence Day.
