About Indian Independence Day
Indian Independence Day is celebrated on 15 August each year, marking the day in 1947 when India gained freedom from British colonial rule. The Prime Minister raises the national flag at the Red Fort in Delhi, followed by a national address, with celebrations including parades, cultural events, and flag-hoisting ceremonies across the country.
The 🇮🇳 Flag: India is the centrepiece of Independence Day, with the tricolour raised at homes, schools, and public buildings across the nation. ✊ Raised fist represents the freedom struggle and the sacrifices made by independence leaders, while 🕊️ Dove symbolises the peace and non-violence championed by Mahatma Gandhi.
Indian Independence Day is celebrated by the Indian diaspora worldwide, making it one of the most widely observed national days globally. 🧡 Orange heart and 💚 Green heart reflect the saffron and green of the Indian flag, and 🎉 Party popper captures the patriotic festivities and cultural pride of the occasion.
