Sudarsan Pattnaik creates sand art based on theme of 'Har Ghar Tiranga'

Speaking to reporters, Pattnaik said, "As per PM Modi's clarion call of 'Har Ghar Tiranga', the entire India is hoisting Tiranga on their houses. This year too, there should be 'Har Ghar Tiranga'. So, as an artist, I have created this sand sculpture here..."

The 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign is part of the 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav' initiative, launched in 2021 to encourage people to hoist the national flag at their homes and celebrate India's 75th year of independence. The initiative aims to ignite a sense of patriotism and raise awareness about the Indian national flag.

From Kashmir to Lakshadweep and from Gujarat to Sikkim, the heartwarming images of people proudly hoisting the Tricolour show the deep connection that every Indian has with the National Flag."

According to the Ministry of Culture, this year the initiative will run from August 2 to August 15, during which the government has urged the people of India to hoist the tricolour at their homes.
