About Republic Day of India
Republic Day, on 26 January, marks the day in 1950 on which the Constitution of India came into force. The central event is a parade in Delhi along Kartavya Path, which begins with the prime minister laying a wreath at the National War Memorial. Regiments march, tanks and missiles roll past, and the states and ministries send decorated floats showing local culture and crafts. School children perform folk dances, and a flypast of aircraft ends the programme. A foreign head of state or government is invited as the chief guest each year. Three days later, the Beating Retreat ceremony closes the celebrations. In schools and offices, the flag is hoisted and the Constitution preamble read.
