Excitement at the Wagah Border flag-lowering ceremony at Attari, Punjab, India

Wagah border, at Attari, flag lowering ceremony at Punjab, India by Gautam Lahiri

Wagah border at Attari, Punjab has always been on any explorer’s list in India. The flag hosting or the lowering ceremonies that are carried out by the two countries, India and Pakistan bring enormous interest. Even the soldiers and armed forces on either side dramatize the event.

Like everyone else, we drove in our personal car and covered over 2000 km from Kolkata, West Bengal to Punjab to witness this popular event. The video embedded here is long and captures the complete event from start to finish.

Take a cup of coffee or tea, relax, and enjoy the excitement, feel the joy of the visitors that we witnessed.

Hope you love every minute of the video. Thank you!

    Wagah border flag hosting and lowering ceremony always makes energetic, excited and full of joy. If you visit there then you can’t stop yourself from cheering and saying “Bharat mata ki Jai”. It was amazing experience when i visited there.
