On the occasion of India’s 79th Independence Day, Dubai’s iconic Burj Khalifa lit up in the radiant colors of the Indian tricolour, creating a breathtaking spectacle on Friday night. The world’s tallest building glowed in saffron, white, and green, reflecting the UAE’s gesture of friendship and its deep bond with India and the Indian expatriate community.
The dazzling display attracted large crowds, many of them Indian expats, who gathered to celebrate the moment with pride and patriotism. The air was filled with chants, applause, and slogans saluting India, as the light show turned into an emotional celebration for those away from home but deeply connected to their roots.
Following the grand illumination, a series of events were organized across the UAE by Indian missions, cultural groups, and businesses. These celebrations highlighted the strong cultural ties between the two nations and gave the Indian community in the Emirates a chance to honor their heritage and mark their country’s Independence Day in a memorable way.
