Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto was India's chief guest for Republic Day celebrations this year.
Indian President Droupadi Murmu led the nation in celebrating the 76th Republic Day at the Kartavya Path in New Delhi on Sunday.
With a special focus on 75 years of enactment of the Constitution and Jan Bhagidari, this year's celebrations blend India’s rich cultural diversity, unity, equality, development, and military prowess.
Around 10,000 guests witnessed the 90-minute parade, which is in line with the government’s objective to increase ‘Jan Bhagidari’ in events of national importance.
This was the first Republic Day celebrated by India since the new regime of President Donald Trump took charge on January 20.
