Know the Correct Way to Display Tiranga

The Flag Code of India outlines how the Tiranga should be displayed, used, and respected to ensure that the flag is treated with dignity and honour.

Who it applies to:

Everyone in India is expected to follow the Flag Code. This includes individuals, private organisations, government institutions, and public bodies.

How to display:

When hung horizontally, the saffron band should be at the top. When hung vertically, the saffron band should be on the left (from the viewer`s perspective).

Respect:

The Tiranga should be treated with the utmost respect by avoiding any actions that might damage, dishonour, or disrespect the flag.

No misuse:

The flag is not to be used for commercial purposes like using it as clothing, printing it on everyday items, or using it as part of advertisements.

Proper care:

The flag should always be kept clean and in good condition. When a flag is no longer usable, it should be disposed of privately and with dignity.

Position of honor:

Whenever the Tiranga is displayed, it should be given the highest position of honour. It should be placed higher than other flags for prominent display.
