From the Red Fort to Mount Everest, the Indian Flag has witnessed India’s greatest victories and proudest milestones.

At the stroke of midnight, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru hoisted the Tiranga for the very first time as India became an independent nation. The moment marked the beginning of a new era and immortalized the flag as the identity of a free nation.

1965 & 1971 – Indo-Pak Wars

The Tiranga was raised with honor at captured enemy posts, symbolizing bravery and victory of the Indian Army. It became a reminder that freedom is protected by courage.

1984 – Mount Everest & Beyond

Bachendri Pal, the first Indian woman to summit Mount Everest, planted the Tiranga at the world’s highest peak. Since then, the flag has traveled to glaciers, oceans, space missions, and international sports arenas.
