India: What is the difference between the flag ceremony on 15th Aug and 26th Jan?

Some interesting facts:

1. On 15th Aug the flag is HOISTED (from below) and unfurled. Reflecting the very first day in 1947 when it was done so for the first time.

On 26th Jan, the flag is already up there and is UNFURLED

Even the ceremonies are called flag hoisting and unfurling the FLAG.

2. PM will be hoisting the flag on Independence day and President will be hoisting the flag on republic day .
