Sanasar’s Tiranga Spectacle: Where Patriotism and Adventure Unfold

Experience Sanasar Lake’s Tiranga celebrations—an unforgettable blend of cultural pride, paragliding, trekking & scenic wonder in Ramban, J&K.

Tiranga celebrations

In the heart of Ramban district, perched at approximately 2,050 meters above sea level, Sanasar—named after the twin lake villages “Sana” and “Sar”—recently served as the breathtaking stage for a grand Tiranga celebration that fused patriotic fervor with tourism’s vibrant promise.

The day dawned with hundreds of flags fluttering against the pristine alpine green, as locals, students, tourists, and youth came together for a spectacular Har Ghar Tiranga rally. The highlight? A Tiranga Shikara Rally on Sanasar Lake, where boats decked in the tricolor gently glided across mirror-like water, echoing the unity and harmony of the nation.

Adding an adrenaline-charged element, a horse riders’ procession thundered across adjacent meadows. Mounted riders raised the national flag high, turning the rolling hills into a vivid tapestry of saffron, white, and green—undoubtedly one of the most picturesque patriotic symbols in recent memory.

Cultural performances amplified the energy. Local school groups brought the spirit of India to life through folk dances, skits, and songs that celebrated national heritage. Tourists joined in, waving flags and capturing the emotional tableau, united by the joy of flag-bearing and community engagement.

Across Ramban’s tehsils—from Gool’s flag-laden streets to Khari’s student-led parades—the spirit of Tiranga echoed. In Gool, residents marched from the Judicial Office to public landmarks, while in Khari, nearly 400 students and locals turned the town‘s lanes into pathways of pride, complete with rhythmic slogans and home-decorated façades.

These district-wide rallies, yatra, and cultural events highlight how locally driven patriotism can elevate tourism, inviting visitors to explore not just scenic landscapes but also shared national identity in action.
