Niagara Falls Illuminated With India’s Tricolour

New Delhi: The Tricolour illuminated the iconic Canadian landmark of Niagara Falls to mark India’s 74th Independence Day.

The special illumination was part of a flag hoisting ceremony which was officiated by India’s Consul General in Toronto, Apoorva Srivastava.

“India in all its magnificence at the Niagara Falls,” tweeted the consulate’s official handle as it shared video of the globally-famous scenic spot lit up for the occasion.


The illumination was conducted with help from Niagara Falls Illumination Board, according to the Indo-Canada Arts Council that organised the event.

India’s 74th Independence Day was celebrated with much enthusiasm across Canada despite the restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic, NDTV reported.
