India, Aug. 14 -- India celebrates its Independence Day annually on August 15, marking the historic day in 1947 when the nation gained freedom after roughly 200 years of British rule. The occasion is commemorated with immense fervor and joy across the country, in government offices, educational institutions, private organisations, residential societies, and homes alike.

People celebrate the day through various traditions, most notably by hoisting the national flag, unfurling the Tricolour, and singing the national anthem and national song.

The hoisting and handling of the flag are strictly guided by the Flag Code of India to preserve its honour.

The Flag Code of India governs the display of the national flag by all institutions.
