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.
