India is getting ready to celebrate its Independence Day on August 15, and the big celebration will happen at a famous fort called the Red Fort in Delhi.

The leader of the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, will lead the celebration.

This year, the special invitation cards show a new government building called Seva Teerth, where the Prime Minister and other important offices work.

The cards also show a symbol called the Dharm Chakra, and they include the words of the national song 'Vande Mataram'.

That song is 150 years old this year, so it is a very special birthday for it.

The celebration is also meant to cheer on the young people of India, called 'Yuva Shakti', who are helping India become a better country by 2047.

The seats where people will sit to watch the event are named after big lakes in India, like Chilika and Wular.

People can scan a QR code on the invitation to watch the event live on their phones.

The new Seva Teerth building was opened by the Prime Minister on February 13, and it stands for the idea that citizens are very important.

Overall, it is a celebration of duty, kindness, and putting the country first.
