Suryapath Tiranga: Global relay of tricolour spirit from Fiji to mark 80th I-Day concludes in San Francisco

On Saturday, a global relay of the Indian flag, known as the Suryapath Tiranga, concluded its journey in San Francisco, marking the 80th Independence Day of India. The unique campaign, involving over 50 Indian missions worldwide, began in Suva, Fiji, and ended at the Indian consulate in the US city, connecting 54 missions and posts across various countries and continents.

The relay, which spanned more than 19 hours, followed the path of the rising sun from the Pacific to the Americas, symbolically linking the regions of the globe. Each successive flag-hoisting ceremony was hosted at Indian missions and posts, with mass singing of Vande Mataram and the national anthem forming an integral part of the celebrations.

The initiative, under the hashtag Har Ghar Tiranga, aimed to carry the spirit of the national flag across the world, fostering a sense of unity among Indians and friends of India globally.
