Delhi, the capital of India, becomes the heart of patriotism every year on August 15. Celebrating Independence Day here is a grand affair steeped in tradition, pride, and cultural richness. The main celebration takes place at the historic Red Fort, where the Prime Minister hoists the national flag and delivers a nationally televised address. The area around the fort is adorned with tricolor decorations and tight security as thousands gather to witness this iconic event.

Cultural programs follow the official ceremony, showcasing India's diversity with schoolchildren performing patriotic dances and songs. The entire city lights up in saffron, white, and green, and local communities organize parades, kite-flying events, and flag hoisting in neighborhoods and societies. Not to miss is the India Gate, which is illuminated beautifully in the national colors, offering a perfect photo opportunity for tourists and locals alike.
