India celebrates Independence Day with flag-raising, parades, and the national song. In addition to the prime minister leading a flag-raising ceremony at the Red Fort historic site in Old Delhi, cultural programs are held in state capitals. People who don't attend these events watch the PM's broadcast address where he summarizes India's main accomplishments and sets future challenges and ambitions. Schools, residential complexes, and offices hoist flags. New Delhi's government offices are closed but lit up. Kite-flying festival includes children and adults.
