Coimbatore man ‘hoists’ miniature Tricolour in his eye to celebrate Independence Day
India Today
A man from Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu put up a special miniature painting of the Tricolour in his eye to raise awareness about India's freedom struggle.
Taking the Independence Day celebrations to the next level, a man from Tamil Nadu, Coimbatore, painted a Tricolour and fixed it in his eye, covering a part of the sclera (the white of the eye) and the iris.
He said that this was an effort to create “awareness” about India’s struggle for freedom.
Raja, who uses art to create awareness about various social causes, drew the Indian national flag on a thin film that covers a bird's egg’s embryo. It took him several hours to complete the project.
Raja, who explained the process in a video, requested children and the general public to emulate his action as undertaking such a process may damage the eye.
“I painted the National flag and placed it on my eye to create awareness about how important our national flag is and it should be protected like our eye,” Raja said.
