Varanasi: After PM Modi launched the tricolour campaign in every house (Har Ghar Tiranga), there was a tremendous surge in the purchase of the tricolour. Tiranga Yatra is being taken out in every locality, school and road. The demand for tricolour (Khadi) has increased significantly in Varanasi ahead of the August 15 Independence Day celebration.

Mahatma Gandhi initiated the foundation of the first Gandhi Ashram in Banaras (Varanasi).

Today, dozens of people sew the Khadi tricolour in the Gandhi Ashram. The tricolour prepared here is supplied to three districts: Varanasi, Chandauli, Bhadohi, and Prime Minister. After the Tricolor campaign in every house, people are attracted to Khadi.
