In a city called Ahmedabad in India, thousands of people walked together while carrying the Indian flag.

More than 100,000 people joined the walk, which is like a big birthday parade for the country.

A very important leader named Harsh Sanghavi started the walk by raising the flag high.

The walk went from one part of the old city to another part called Sarangpur.

Along the way, there were stages with patriotic songs and cultural performances.

Teachers even carried a super long flag that was 300 feet long.

The walk celebrated an idea called 'Har Ghar Tiranga,' which means every home should have the Indian flag.

It was also a special year because the song 'Vande Mataram' turned 150 years old.

The event reminded people to thank soldiers who protect the country and to take care of the flag respectfully.

At the end, there were fireworks and people paid tribute to Dr. Ambedkar.
