Republic Day 2026: States Showcase Vibrant Cultural Tableau At Grand Republic Day Parade
India is celebrating its 77th Republic Day today, with President Droupadi Murmu presiding over the grand festivities at Kartavya Path, Delhi. Joining her as Chief Guests are Antonio Costa, President of the European Council, and Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission.
As per tradition, the national flag was unfurled, followed by the national anthem with a thunderous 21-gun salute using 105 mm light field guns, an indigenously developed artillery system. The 21-gun salute was presented by the 1721 Ceremonial Battery of the 172 Field Regiment.
