"The tricolour is not only our national flag, but a symbol of our collective pride, aspirations and unity. Prime Minister Modi's Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan has strengthened the emotional attachment to the tricolour in the minds of every citizen. Through this exhibition, NDMC is giving artists a platform to express their feelings through colours and creativity and reaching out to the people in a unique way,” he said.
He said that developed India is not only about economic progress, but also about cultural awareness, national pride and public participation.

Based on the theme “Art Expression Patriotism”, the exhibition offers visitors a unique artistic experience through the tricolour.
