R-Day parade showcases representations of India's journey from 'Virasat' to 'Vikas'
-
NEW DELHI: India marked its 76th Republic Day with a grand and vibrant display of military prowess, cultural heritage, and national progress along the Kartavya Path in New Delhi on Sunday.
The 90-minute-long celebration, which began at 10:30 am, showcased a fusion of advanced defence technology, artistic performances, and symbolic representations of India's journey from "Virasat" (legacy) to "Vikas" (development), drawing a global audience to witness the rich diversity and power of the nation. President Droupadi Murmu, alongside Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, the chief guest for the occasion, presided over the spectacle. Subianto's participation marked the first time an Indonesian President had attended the Republic Day parade in more than 70 years, a significant moment for bilateral ties between the two nations.
The parade was led by the Indonesian military band, a contingent of 352 members marching proudly down the ceremonial boulevard. The two presidents, accompanied by high-level officials and military leaders, arrived in a horse-drawn buggy, a tradition that was revived after 40 years. This moment was especially poignant as the President's convoy was escorted by the President's Bodyguard, the oldest and most distinguished regiment of the Indian Army.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, along with senior leaders, military brass, and thousands of spectators, witnessed the dazzling parade, which included an air show featuring fighter jets, transport aircraft, and helicopters.
The fly-past, led by a variety of aircraft such as the C-130J Super Hercules, C-295, Rafale, Su-30, and the C-17 Globemaster, among others, was a crowd-pleasing spectacle, symbolising India's growing air defence capabilities.
