REPUBLIC DAY SPECIAL: 77 YRS OF CONSTITUTIONAL GLORY!

"WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC..."

  • The Flying Start: The Republic Day parade always begins with the President unfurling the National Flag, followed by the National Anthem and a 21-gun salute.
  • Beating Retreat: The festivities officially close on the evening of January 29th with the 'Beating Retreat' ceremony at Vijay Chowk.

The Grand Parade

Every year, the Kartavya Path (formerly Rajpath) witnesses a spectacular display of India’s military might and cultural diversity. From the T-90 Bhishma tanks to the vibrant tableaux (Jhanki) of different states, the parade is a reminder of our "Unity in Diversity."
