Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar on Saturday hoisted India's largest flag atop the tallest pole at Pahari Mandir in Ranchi. The flag is 66 feet in height, 99 feet in width and hoisted on a 293 feet-tall pole and 493 feet from sea level.
Parrikar said, “I feel good to unfurl the country’s tallest, biggest and most beautiful tricolour on the occasion of the 119th birth anniversary of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.”
The flag beat the previous record set by the 96 feet x 64 feet tricolour hoisted in Faridabad last year on a 250 feet-high pole. This flag was unveiled to mark the National Defence Day.
