Republic Day in India is celebrated on January 26th each year. It marks the day when the Constitution of India came into effect in 1950, replacing the Government of India Act (1935) as the governing document of India. On this day, India formally became a sovereign, socialist, secular, and democratic republic.
The main event on Republic Day is the Republic Day Parade held in the capital city, New Delhi. The parade showcases the rich cultural diversity and military strength of the country. It takes place on Rajpath, from Rashtrapati Bhavan (the President's residence) to India Gate. The President of India, who is the ceremonial head of state, hoists the national flag, and the parade includes displays by the Indian Armed Forces, cultural performances, and tableaux representing various states and union territories.
Republic Day is a national holiday in India, and celebrations take place across the country. Schools, colleges, and government offices organize cultural programs, flag-hoisting ceremonies, and patriotic events to commemorate the day. It is a time for citizens to reflect on the values enshrined in the Indian Constitution and the principles that guide the nation.
