What is the Republic Day Parade?
The Republic Day parade is the largest and most significant of India’s Republic Day celebrations. Every year on January 26th, the parade takes place on the Kartavya Path (formally Rajpath) in New Delhi. The first parade fell in 1950 and it has taken place every year for that reason. The parade marches along the Kartavya Path from the Rashtrapati Bhawan to India Gate and then to the Red Fort.
