Har Ghar Tiranga: Here’s How to Change Your Profile Picture to Indian Flag on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp

As part of the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign in the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav to commemorate 75 years of Indian independence, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged citizens to use the tricolour as a display picture on social media platforms.

In the recent episode of his monthly radio address ‘Mann Ki Baat’, PM Modi said that to make the 75th year of Independence a special moment, Har Ghar Tiranga (a tricolour, every home) is being organised. Requesting citizens to hoist the tricolour at their homes from August 13 to 15, he also suggested that people should use the national flag as their display pictures on social media platforms from August 2 to August 15.

In that bid, PM Modi on Tuesday changed his profile picture on social media platforms with a tricolour.

Here’s how you can also change your display picture on various social media platforms to take part in the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations.
