Atari-Wagah border: An unmatched experience

Atari-Wagah Wagah border is the border between India and Pakistan and is approximately 20 km away from the Holy city of Amritsar. Atari is the India side of the border and Wagah is the Pakistan side of the border.

People gathering in the stands to witness the ceremony

The citizens of both the countries start gathering an hour before the sunset, in the stands. A series of activities like dancing, singing patriotic songs and performances by the BSF OFFICERS take place.

Performance by BSF OFFICERS

When the sun sets, BSF officers March towards our National Flag and the Flag is gradually lowered from the hoist. It is then folded and carried away by BSF officers in a small procession.

Here is a video of the Glorious Ceremony

The ceremony gives you a rush of patriotism you wouldn’t experience anywhere else. Therefore I highly recommend attending the ceremony whenever you go to Amritsar.
