Historic Republic Day: Presidents Murmu and Macron arrive in traditional buggy

On Republic Day morning, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the National War Memorial to pay tributes, marking the official commencement of the 75th Republic Day celebrations. After leading the nation in paying solemn tributes to the fallen heroes by laying a wreath, PM Modi and other dignitaries headed to the saluting dais at Kartavya Path to witness the parade.

The arrival of the President of India Droupadi Murmu and her French counterpart Emmanuel Macron was escorted by the President’s Bodyguard – ‘Rashtrapati Ke Angrakshak’. The President’s Bodyguard is the senior-most Regiment of the Indian Army. This Republic Day is special for this elite Regiment as the ‘Angrakshak’ has completed 250 years of service since its raising in 1773. The two presidents arrived in the ‘Traditional Buggy’, a practice making a comeback after a gap of 40 years.

As per tradition, the National Flag was unfurled followed by the National Anthem with a booming 21-gun salute given with the indigenous gun system 105-mm Indian Field Guns. This was then followed by ‘Aavaahan’, a band performance by over 100 women artists playing various types of percussion instruments, symbolizing Nari Shakti.
