Jaipur, Aug 8
A grand Tricolour rally will be held in Jaipur on Sunday under the leadership of Union Health Minister JP Nadda, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma and Bharatiya Janata Party state president and MP Madan Rathod.
The rally will feature patriotic programmes, with "Jana Gana Mana" and "Vande Mataram" expected to echo through the streets as participants carry the national flag. The event is being organised as part of a statewide Tricolour programme from August 9 to 17, under the directions of the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, and the Department of Art, Literature and Archaeology, Government of Rajasthan.
According to Jaipur District Collector Sandesh Nayak, the state‑level Tricolour rally will begin at around 9 a.m. on August 9 from Albert Hall Museum. Before the rally, Union Health Minister JP Nadda, Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma and MP Madan Rathod will pay floral tributes at the Amar Jawan Jyoti (Martyr Memorial) and honour the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the nation.
The rally will start from the Ram Niwas Bagh exit gate near Albert Hall and proceed through Sanganeri Gate and Johari Bazaar before concluding at Badi Chaupar. The district administration expects around 10,000 people to participate in the rally.
A large number of public representatives, administrative and police personnel, Army personnel, Anganwadi workers, college and school students, NCC cadets, Scouts and Guides, My Bharat volunteers, sportspersons, trade union representatives, pensioners, veterans and members of various non‑government organisations are expected to join the event.
The administration has appealed to citizens to participate in the rally in large numbers and make the programme a grand celebration of patriotism and national pride.
The Tricolour programme is part of a wider campaign being organised across Rajasthan from August 9 to 17, to encourage citizens to display the national flag and participate in activities celebrating India's independence and patriotic spirit.

It's nice to see such events, but I hope they also focus on real development. Flag hoisting is good, but we need better roads, hospitals, and schools too. Just a thought. 🙏
This is exactly what we need before Independence Day. The tricolour rally will inspire the youth and instil a sense of national pride. I'll definitely be there with my family! Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
Expected 10,000 participants? That's great! The route through Johari Bazaar will be perfect for a grand display. Let's all come together to celebrate our freedom and the sacrifices of our soldiers. 💪
While this is a good move, I wish there were more events like this throughout the year, not just around Independence Day. Patriotism shouldn't be seasonal. Still, better late than never.
So proud of Rajasthan! The Amar Jawan Jyoti tribute makes me emotional. Our soldiers deserve all the respect. Will be attending with my kids to teach them about our nation's history. 🇮🇳🙏
Nice PR exercise, but I hope the roads are cleaned and traffic is managed properly for this rally
