The ceremony, featuring the Border Security Force (BSF) and Pakistani Rangers, is marked by aggressive marching, high kicks, and patriotic slogans.

The transcript highlights the synchronized lowering of the flags without the opening of gates or handshakes, a practice maintained following specific security considerations. Thousands of visitors gathered to witness the spectacle, chanting 'Hindustan Zindabad' and 'Vande Mataram' as the tricolour was respectfully lowered at sunset.
