India celebrates Republic Day on January 26 to mark the adoption of its Constitution in 1950. While the main parade occurs on this day, official festivities continue until January 29, concluding with the Beating Retreat ceremony, a patriotic event showcasing India’s military and cultural pride.

On India’s 77th Republic Day, PM Modi wore a red Rajasthani-style pagdi with gold zari motifs, paired with a blue kurta-pyjama. The turban, a symbolic tradition since 2014, highlights India’s cultural diversity and craftsmanship, complementing Republic Day celebrations.

During India’s Republic Day parade, most marching soldiers turn their heads to salute the President. However, the rightmost row keeps looking ahead to maintain alignment and direction.
