Kolkata’s Victoria Memorial was decked up with a giant 7,500-square-foot Tricolour draped on part of the monument to celebrate the 75th year of Independence. The white marble of the Victoria Memorial Hall in Kolkata accentuated the three colours of the national flag.
The flag was unfurled by West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar after he hoisted another Tricolour on the compound, PTI said.
The flag, stitched by the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, will be put up only for a day on the terrace of the Victoria Memorial Hall, an architectural icon of Kolkata.
