Tripura gears up for Har Ghar Tiranga from August 9
Tripura, a state in India, is getting ready for a special celebration called Har Ghar Tiranga, which means 'the flag in every home.'
The Tiranga is the Indian national flag.
During the celebration, people are encouraged to put the Indian flag on their homes.
The event will happen from August 9 to 17 this year.
It is the fifth time the campaign is being held.
It was first started by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2022.
The goal is to help people feel proud of their country and remember the freedom fighters who helped India become independent.
This year, the celebration also honors a famous patriotic song called Vande Mataram, which is 150 years old.
There will be parades, concerts, bike rides, and painting and rangoli competitions.
The Chief Minister of Tripura, Manik Saha, will even lead a big rally on August 11.
Tripura will observe the Har Ghar Tiranga 2026 campaign from August 9 to 17, encouraging citizens to hoist the national flag at their homes.
The fifth edition of the campaign, whose Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2022 as part of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, will be celebrated across the state.
This year's celebrations are dedicated to the 150th-year observance of Vande Mataram.
Chief Minister Manik Saha will inaugurate the state-level Har Ghar Tiranga rally on August 11, running from Ujjayanta Palace to Rabindra Satabarshiki Bhavan in Agartala.
Programmes include Tiranga rallies, exhibitions, concerts, bike and cycle rallies, illumination, decoration and rangoli-making competitions, 'Tiranga Salute' to Vande Mataram and 'Selfie with the Tiranga'.
