Indian Navy hoisted the Tricolour on every continent except Antartica on India's 76th Independence Day

In honour of the 75th anniversary of the country's Independence, Indian Navy warships unfurled the tricolour across six continents, three oceans, and six time zones. The Indian diaspora, other prominent personalities, and local representatives of the host nation were present as the Indian Navy warships hoisted the Indian national flag on Monday.

Tweeting a video about this, the Indian Navy wrote, "Celebrating @75 years of #Independence, #IndianNavy #warships hoist the #Tricolour across 6 Continents, 3 Oceans & 6 different Time Zones saluting the spirit of #Tiranga. #IndiaAt75 #AzadiKaAmritMahotsav #BridgesofFriendship #MaritimePartnership"

Indian Navy ships made commemorative trips to overseas ports on all continents except Antarctica in an effort to take part in the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, a celebration of 75 years of India's glorious independence.

Apart from flag hoisting, Indian Missions organised a variety of activities and festivities in each of these places during the arrival of the Indian Navy Ships.

These numerous events include official calls by the Indian crew on the senior leadership of the host country, involvement by the Indian contingent and Guard at the Flag Hoisting Ceremony in the respective Embassies, a band performance in a popular public area or auditorium, opening of the ship to tourists, inviting students and members of the Indian diaspora on deck, hosting a reception on the deck, and various other cultural events.
