The Delhi Republic Day parade is the largest and most important of the parades marking the Republic Day celebrations in India. The parade takes place every year on 26 January at Rajpath, New Delhi. It is the main attraction of India's Republic Day celebrations, which last for three days. The first parade was held in 1950, and it has been held every year since. The cultural pageant is a symbol of a diverse but united India.[2]
The parade marches from the Rashtrapati Bhawan on the Kartvyapath to India Gate and from there to Red Fort. It opens with the unfurling of the national flag by the President of India. This is followed by marching from several regiments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, along with their bands. Tableaux from various states signifying their cultures are displayed. A beating retreat ceremony signifies the end of the parade.
History[edit]
President Rajendra Prasad readies to take part in the first Republic Day parade on Rajpath, New Delhi, in 1950.
The first Republic Day Parade was held on 26 January 1950, led by then Brigadier Moti Sagar of the Gorkha Regiment, during which the President of Indonesia Sukarno was the chief guest. The flypast of that parade included aircraft such as Harvards, Consolidated B-24 Liberators, Dakotas, Hawker Tempest, Spitfires and jet planes comprising a total of more than a hundred aircraft.[3]
Parade[edit]

To mark the Republic Day, an annual parade is held in New Delhi, starting at the Rashtrapati Bhavan (the President's residence), and proceeding along the Rajpath, past the India Gate.[4] Prior to its commencement, the Prime Minister lays a floral wreath at the National War Memorial (previously at the Amar Jawan Jyoti memorial) at one end of Rajpath, which is followed by two minutes silence in the memory of fallen soldiers. Thereafter he/she reaches the main dais at Rajpath to join other dignitaries. Subsequently the President arrives along with the chief guest of the occasion. They are escorted on horseback by the President's Bodyguard.[]
First, the president unfurls the National flag, as the National Anthem Jana Gana Mana is played, and a 21-gun salute is fired by the Indian Army Regiment of Artillery as the PBG renders the National Salute and its standard is dipped. Next, as the PBG trots off the dais, important awards like the Ashok Chakra and Param Vir Chakra are given away by the President. The President comes forward to award the medals of bravery to the people from the armed forces for their exceptional courage in the field and also the civilians, who have distinguished themselves by their different acts of valour in different situations, either in military, civilian or disaster scenarios. This is followed by the regiments of Armed Forces starting their march past, led by the parade commander and his second in command, followed by living receipents of gallantry medals of the Republic. Following the march past of the armed forces follows the march of personnel belonging to the federal security organizations and the Delhi Police, which marches also on behalf of all territorial, state, city and municipal police forces. Children who are recipients of the National Bravery Award ride past the spectators on colourfully decorated elephants or vehicles.[5]
An overview of the 55th Republic Day Parade from India Gate in 2004.
18 to 24 different regiments of the Indian Army in addition to the Navy, and Air Force (total nearly 55)) with their bands march past in all their finery and official decorations. The President of India who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Armed Forces, takes the salute. Twelve contingents of various para-military forces of India and other civil forces also take part in this parade.[6] One of the unique sights of the parade is the camel mounted Border Security Force contingent, which is the only camel mounted military force in the world.[] The best N.C.C. cadets, selected from all over the country consider it an honour to participate in this event, as do the school children from various schools in the capital. They spend many days preparing for the event and no expense is spared to see that every detail is taken care of, from their practice for the drills, the essential props and their uniforms. 22 to 30 floats exhibiting the cultures of the various states and union territories of India, including floats of union ministries and state enterprises are in the grand parade, which is broadcast nationwide on television and radio. These moving exhibits depict scenes of activities of people in those states and the music and songs of that particular state accompany each display. Each display brings out the diversity and richness of the culture of India and the whole show lends a festive air to the occasion.[7] People from different parts of the country enjoy watching the representation of their state rolling along in the parade.[2] Around 1200 schoolchildren present cultural dances as part of the parade.[8] The 2016 Republic Day marked the return of K-9 Dog Squad to the parade after 26 years.[9]

NEW DELHI: As a young NCC cadet in 2008, Disha Amrith harboured a dream to take part in the annual Republic Day Parade on the majestic Rajpath. Next week, on January 26, she will finally accomplish it, and that too by leading the naval marching contingent down the renamed Kartavya Path as a Lieutenant Commander.
Lt Cdr Amrith (29), a naval air operations officer posted in the tri-service Andaman Nicobar Command, will lead the 144-member contingent of young sailors, which will also include three women and five men undergoing training as ‘Agniveers’, while another woman officer Sub-Lt Valli Meena S will be one of three platoon commanders.
Indian Navy unveils its tableau for Republic Day 2023 Parade
The naval tableau also has ‘Nari Shakti’ as its central theme, while showcasing the Navy’s multi-dimensional capabilities as well as highlighting ‘Make in India’ platforms like the Scorpene or Kalvari submarines and Nilgiri class of frigates.
There are around 30 women officers deployed on front-line warships, with the Navy inducting them as aircraft and helicopter pilots and air operations officers. But Lt Cdr Amrith is clear she wants to be known as “an officer” rather than as “a woman officer”. “I am on a par with my male counterparts. I have proved that,” she said, adding that it was “an amazing lifetime opportunity” for her to lead the naval marching contingent.
A Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science from BMS College of Engineering in Karnataka, Lt Cdr Amrith said, “Since 2008, I have nurtured this dream of being part of the R-Day contingent of the armed forces. My father also wanted to join the armed forces but he could not. I am proud to be part of the Navy and will continue to serve with full zeal and dedication”.
This is a lifetime opportunity for me: Disha Amrith, Indian Navy’s 2023 R-Day parade contingent commander
