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
