On Independence Day, the flag is raised from the bottom to top by the Prime Minister of India.
The Independence day hoisting symbolizes the rise of a new nation, patriotism and freedom from colonial rule.
On Republic Day, the tricolor is folded and attached to the top of the pole which is then unfurled by the President of the country. (Image: Unsplash)
