A village in Karnataka has become the sole supplier of all official Indian flags, a fact that will be highlighted during Independence Day celebrations in 2026.
In a surprising revelation ahead of the 2026 Independence Day, it has been confirmed that a single village in Karnataka supplies every official Indian flag used by the government.
The village’s flag factory, established decades ago, has been contracted by the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Home Affairs to produce high‑quality saffron, white and green tricolour flags for use in Parliament, ministries, and diplomatic missions.
The uniformity of the flag’s design and material ensures consistency across all state and national institutions, reinforcing a shared sense of patriotism.
Local officials say the village’s contribution has earned it recognition from the central government, and residents celebrate this unique role as part of the country’s heritage.
