Old video of tricolour waterfall impresses netizens
An old video of the tricolour waterfall has caught the fancy of the netizens. Reportedly, the video was recorded in Jodhpur, Rajasthan in 2020 around Independence Day. In the video, two men can be seen on top of the hill, throwing saffron and green colour into a waterfall from two different sides, creating a mesmerising view of the Indian tricolour.
