At the lowering of the flags ceremony at the Attari–Wagah border is a daily military practice that the security forces of Indian (Border Security Force) and Pakistani (Pakistan Rangers) have jointly followed since 1959. The drill is characterized by elaborate and rapid dance-like manoeuvres and raising legs as high as possible, which have been described as "colourful". It is both a symbol of the two countries’ rivalry, and a display of brotherhood and cooperation between the two nations.
