Tallest Flag Pole of India in Belagavi

The tallest flag pole in India proudly stands in Belagavi, Karnataka, reaching a remarkable height of 361 feet. Located near Fort Lake, this towering structure symbolizes national pride and unity.

The flag pole not only enhances the cityscape but also reinforces the nation’s sense of identity.

Tallest Flagpole in India – Inauguration and Celebrations

On March 12, 2018, Firoz Sait inaugurated this monumental flag pole with a grand ribbon-cutting ceremony. This event marked a significant celebration, with the hoisting of the enormous flag symbolizing the country’s unity and pride. The occasion was not only a ceremonial milestone but also a moment of great national significance.

A Resurgent Spirit of Patriotism

After four years, the spirit of patriotism was rekindled as India’s tallest national flag once again unfurled above the cityscape of Belagavi. Belagavi North MLA Asif Sait, a figure of reverence, took on the honor of unfurling the 9,600 sq. feet wide flag atop the towering 361-feet pole. This monumental moment added a new dimension to the annals of the city’s history.

Innovative Engineering and Flag Rotation

Behind the scenes of this technological marvel, a Mumbai-based company meticulously crafted four flags, ensuring a seamless rotation system.  The process of hoisting these grand flags involves the utilization of a powerful 10HP motor, serving as a testament to the prowess of engineering ingenuity.

A symbol of Unity and Pride

When the flag pole was put up again, lots of important people like leaders and their followers and the folks who help run the city, all come together for a special event. The flag pole is not just a tall thing in the sky. It means a lot more. It shows how much we love our country and how proud we are of it. When the flag dances with the wind, it reminds us of the people who worked hard for our country’s freedom and how we all stand together for the country.
