The government changed the country's flag code this year to allow the tricolour to fly both day and night and launched the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign to encourage the citizens to hoist the national flag in their homes from August 13 to 15.
The idea behind the initiative is to invoke the feeling of patriotism in the hearts of the people and to promote awareness about the Indian National Flag.
Even as people unfurl flags at their homes, they should realise that it should be folded in accordance with the Flag Code of India. Here, we tell you how to fold it.
Place the National Flag horizontally.
Fold the saffron & green bands under the middle white band.
Fold the white band in such a way that only the Ashoka Chakra is seen with parts of saffron & green bands.
Carry the folded flag on palms or arms to store it.
