Renowned sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik created a sand sculpture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi with the message ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ at Puri Beach on August 10. He crafted an 8-foot-high sculpture depicting the Prime Minister updating his profile picture with the Tiranga on all social media platforms.
Appreciating the beauty of the sand art, locals who gathered at Puri Beach expressed that everyone should feel pride in their nation and contribute as much as possible. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has launched the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign across the nation. During this period, the central government has urged citizens to hoist the tricolor on every house, shop, and office. A cleanliness drive will also be carried out.
“I am an Indian. There should be a Tiranga in every home. Independence Day is around the corner. This sand art has been created… We are proud to be Indian,” a local at the beach told ANI. “It should be displayed in every home. The feeling of being an Indian should be felt by everyone, and this is our national flag.”
Divanshi, who hails from Bhubaneswar, said she believes everyone should respect the flag. “One should have a strong sense of pride in their nation and contribute positively. We should learn more from this art, stay informed about national developments, and continuously strive to improve our lives,” she added.

Manoj Kumar, a chartered accountant from New Delhi, mentioned that the Prime Minister’s message of ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ should reach everyone, especially in the face of external forces attempting to harm the country’s integrity.
Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to citizens to hoist the national flag at their homes as part of the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign for the 78th Independence Day on August 15. In the 112th episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ on July 28, Prime Minister Modi encouraged all Indians to participate in the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign to celebrate Independence Day. He highlighted the growing trend of taking selfies with the national flag and sharing them on social media, urging party leaders and workers to ensure that the flag is hoisted on houses, offices, and shops.
‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ is a campaign that is part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. Launched in 2021, it aims to encourage people to bring the Tiranga home and hoist it to mark the 75th year of India’s independence.
