See: Burj Khalifa glows with Indian Tricolor in honor of the 79th Independence Day

Dubai’s iconic Burj Khalifa was relieved in the colors of the Indian flag on Monday, August 15, as part of the celebrations in celebration of the 79th anniversary of India’s independence. At exactly 19:50 o’clock, the Tricolor lit the highest building in the world and pulled large crowds that gathered to see the patriotic show. A video that captured the moment shows the Indian flag that falls in the length of the skyscraper’s facade, a face that cheered from the crowd. The annual tradition of projecting the Indian Tricolor on the Burj Khalifa has become a symbolic gesture of friendship between India and the United Arab Emirates. The performance of this year was no exception, and served as a striking reminder of the journey of India since the acquisition of independence in 1947. Earlier in the day, a flag-throwing ceremony was held at the Indian Consulate in Dubai. During the event, the Consul General praised India’s progress on the most important sectors. He emphasized significant progress in management, the development of robust digital public infrastructure and progress in space exploration. The Consul General also acknowledged the increasing empowerment of women across the country and India’s growing confidence in the defense sector, and noted these achievements as central to the country’s future vision. India’s Independence Day celebrations are proudly observed by millions of Indians around the world. Burj Khalifa’s tribute stands as a powerful visual representation of India’s lasting spirit and the increasing presence on the world scene.
