Why are Indian flags brought down at sunset ?

Indian national flag is the pride of our country . It represents the hopes and aspirations of us , Indians .

There are certain flag codes to hoist the flag . Indian national flag is hoisted only when there is enough lighting towards the flag .


Hoisting the Indian national flag after sunset that is under low lighting is considered as showing disrespect towards the flag .


But if proper lighting is available , then Indian national flag can be hoisted beyond sunset also  .
