In India, there is a special celebration called 'Har Ghar Tiranga', which means 'Tricolour in Every Home.'
During this week, people are encouraged to fly the Indian national flag with pride.
Some schools in Thane city joined the celebration by making rakhis, which are pretty bands tied on Raksha Bandhan.
