The tricolor can be folded in 4 steps.
How to fold Indian Flag: The tricolor of India is not just a flag. It is a symbol of the soul, unity and sacrifice of the country. On July 22, 1947, it was adopted as the national flag of the country and was first hoisted on the Red Fort on 15 August 1947. Today, the countrymen are hoisting it proudly, but after the celebration of Independence Day, the tricolor should be kept back with the same dignity and honor as the honor is given during the celebration of freedom.
The flag code says that never keep the flag in a place where it is dirty or there is a fear of cutting. If the tricolor is damaged in any way, it cannot be thrown like clothes. In this way, the method of keeping the flag safe has also been decided.
What is the right way to fold the tricolor?
There is also a way to fold the tricolor. In the flag code, it has been described as the right way to fold. Keep it in horizontal form to fold it. Now bend saffron and green straps towards the back of the white color. Now the white bandage will have to be bent in such a way that only the Ashoka Chakra is visible. Parts of saffron and green straps appear. Now the turned Indian national flag has to be taken in a safe place with hands or palms.
This is the way
Fold it with care. Hold it with Pride. Let the chakra shine bright.
