The Republic Day Parade, held annually at Kartavya Path in the national capital, features marching contingents, tableaux and displays by the armed forces and other participants, and is attended by large numbers of spectators.
Republic Day celebrations also provide an opportunity for citizens to witness ceremonial traditions and public participation events associated with the armed forces and national institutions.
The Beating the Retreat ceremony, traditionally held at Vijay Chowk, marks the formal conclusion of the Republic Day celebrations and includes performances by military bands from the Army, Navy and Air Force.
The Ministry of Defence has, in recent years, increasingly relied on digital platforms to streamline access and improve crowd management for such large-scale national events.
