Radhanagar Beach, often hailed as one of the world’s most beautiful beaches, provided the perfect setting for this unique endeavour. The enormous flag was carefully unfurled in the clear waters, drawing attention to India’s marine heritage and the spirit of adventure among its citizens.
This achievement marks a significant milestone for the country in the Guinness World Records category for the largest national flag displayed underwater. The effort is expected to boost eco-tourism and adventure sports in the Andaman region while inspiring similar patriotic initiatives across India.
Officials and participants involved in the record attempt described the moment as deeply emotional, with the saffron, white, and green flag gracefully swaying with the underwater currents. The record not only celebrates India’s tricolour but also showcases the country’s capability to execute large-scale, logistically challenging events in unique environments.
