Held annually on August 14, this puja is not just a spiritual observance but also a powerful expression of patriotism and hope for the restoration of India's territorial integrity.

The event draws significance on the deep-seated belief that regions such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh and others, will eventually be reintegrated into the country.
