When the sun decides to say goodbye to a peaceful day it’s time For the reunion, which transcends the boundaries, that man has laid. From Amritsar 35 Km on the road to Lahore(Pakistan), is India-Pakistan border, which is also known as "Attari(India)-"Wagah" (Pakistan) border. The flag-lowering ceremony is an interesting experience, especially at sun-set, when the retreat ceremony takes place with the Border Security Force (B.S.F.) on the Indian side and The Sutlej Rangers on the Pakistan side putting up a well co-ordinate and spectacular display.
A 30 Minutes flag-lowering ceremony at the Wagah crossing between India and Pakistan begins with the march fast ,then they perform warrior-like stamping and gesturing, along with the ritual of “beating the retreat” (the lowering the colours) on their respective sides of the Border and closing the gates for the night.
After lowering the flag, the way they holds the flag with respect will surely induce a patriotic feeling among the watching people.
Thus two Border guards entertain the visitors each evening
