Thank you, Bengaluru.
You came before sunrise. You walked without overtaking the flag. You left the road cleaner than you found it.

About the Flagathon
Walk for Nation
Every Independence Day, Bengaluru gathers to carry a National Flag as long as India is old — 79 metres for 79 years of freedom.
The column moves as one body behind the flag, at a slow, dignified pace. Children, grandparents, students, colleagues — everyone keeps step. There is no race, no finish line to beat.
Open to all ages. Free to participate.
