While the Indian tricolour has been source of inspiration for Indians from all walks of life including those belonging to the creative community, there has never been a single collective body of artistic expressions dealing with this subject. Flag Foundation Of India has attempted to fulfill this lacuna in our country's creative and public life with its recent initiatives revolving around the Indian flag.

Tiranga: Rights and Responsibilities
our exhibition currently traveling across the country, comprises of works commissioned from India's leading artists and covers a wide variety of art disciplines.

Our book - Tiranga: A Celebration of the Indian Flag, now extends the same philosophy to the world of photography. Using a variety of means including a contest and invitation to some 4000 photographers, photographic bodies and educational institutions across India, this project reached out to virtually every kind of photographer in India - making it perhaps the largest ever photographic initiative dealing with the Indian flag. The enthusiastic response from photographers, whether professional or amateur, well known or upcoming, lent depth and diversity to this initiative. Additionally, our project research team diligently looked through the visual archives of India's leading publications as well as the collections in the various departments of Government of India for images that met the project's editorial needs and production standards. The project team also interviewed some two hundred eminent Indians as well as others for their thoughts on the Indian flag and nationhood.
