'Wagah border' is the popular name for the Indian checkpost on the border with Pakistan at the village of Attari in Punjab. The post is more widely after Wagah, a village on the Pakistani side of the border. The checkpost lies on the Grand Trunk Road, 32 km from Amritsar and 24 km from Lahore. The checkpost is popular for the ceremonial and simultaneous lowering of the flags of both countries in the evening. The ceremony is accompanied by a parade which takes place before every evening and a coordinated stand-offish display by the personnel of both countries. Large crowds gather at the stadium-like galleries that have been constructed on either side.

The Indian side of the post is guarded by the Border Security Force (BSF) while the Pakistan Rangers handle the other side. BSF and the Rangers frequently discuss any changes to the routine of the ceremony, that has taken place since 1959. The ceremony is often used as a symbolic display of the state of ties between New Delhi and Islamabad. It is called off each time there are tensions. As a tourist attraction, the ceremony at the Attari checkpost has been replicated in varying forms at a number of places, most notably at Hussainiwala.
