Situated on the outskirts of Amritsar near the Radcliffe Line, the boundary separating India and Pakistan during the Partition, the Wagah Border witnesses a large number of people attending this retreat ceremony. The ceremony is highly popular among tourists visiting Amritsar. Soldiers from both sides march towards the gate at the border, which opens when they reach there. Soldiers from both sides lower their respective flags, retrieve and fold them. The gate is then closed on both sides with a loud sound. A trumpet is sounded at the end of the entire ceremony. The soldiers return to their respective positions with their country's flag.
