Description: Ceremony of raising the flag of Indonesia moments after the reading of the Indonesian Declaration of Independence. The original flag was sewn by Sukarno's wife Fatmawati and flown every year on 17 August to commemorate the most important moments in Indonesian history. (Since 1968, a duplicate flag was flown to prevent the original from being damaged).
