Independence Day : The largest Indian flag you ever saw!

Tricolour, the national flag of India hoisted at Central Park, Connaught Place, New Delhi, is the largest national flag of India. The Flag Foundation of India and the New Delhi Municipal Council have together set up the flag and was the 46th 'monumental flags' hoisted by the foundation. On 7 March 2014, the flag was hoisted for the first time. The flag is located at the centre of the Central Park, which is listed as a heritage building of Connaught Place which is regarded as the heart of Delhi. The flag pole has been designed keeping in mind the geometry of Connaught Place.

The flag is 60 feet in width and 90 feet in length and is hoisted on the top of a 207 feet high mast. The flag weighs around 37 kilograms. The flag is made of knitted polyster fabric called ‘deneir polyester’ manufactured in Mumbai by the ‘Flag Shop’. The Chakra (wheel) of the flag has been painted by using specialized printing process.

The flag is illuminated at night with the usage of four 2,000 Watt lights. A special permission for this has been taken for this purpose from the Home Ministry.

The Flag Foundation of India had sent its proposal of installing the national tricolour to the NDMC. The proposal was sent by NDMC to the Delhi Urban Art Commission (DUAC). The DUAC approved the proposal after scrutinising the plan. It was ensured that the proposed structure did not lead to any pollution or traffic mess.
