The world's largest national flag made of Khadi was unfurled at the Jaisalmer War Museum on Army Day, that falls on 15 January. It also marked the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Independence Day. The tricolor is 225 feet long, 150 feet wide and weighs about one tonne. This flag is spread over 37 thousand 500 square feet.
