Hoisting
The Indian national flag should be hoisted briskly and lowered slowly and ceremoniously, and should always be in a position of honour above all other flags

While a damaged or inverted flag should never be hoisted, the saffron band should always be on top, and be displayed horizontally and to the right hand side

Flag shouldn`t touch the ground or water
While it is known to always be up in the air, more importantly, the flag should never be allowed to touch the ground, floor or water at any point in time

No decorative use
