Monumental National Flag to display along India–Pakistan border on Army Day 2022

The Monumental National Flag, which is the world's largest national flag made of Khadi fabric, will be put on a grand public display along the IndiaPakistan Border in Jaisalmer to celebrate "Army Day" on Saturday.

The Monumental National Flag measures 225 feet long, 150 feet wide and weighs around 1,400 kg. It took 49 days for 70 Khadi artisans to prepare this flag.

The Monumental National Flag, which symbolizes the collective spirit of



Indian-ness and the heritage artisanal craft of Khadi, has been conceptualized and prepared by Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) to celebrate 'Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav', the 75 years of Independence. KVIC has handed over the flag to the Defence forces to display the same at prominent places on historic occasions.

The Monumental National Flag will be displayed at Longewala, which was the center stage of the historic battle between India and Pakistan in 1971.
