Foot-Tapping Tunes at beating retreat ceremony marks end of India’s Republic Day celebrations
In the majestic backdrop of a setting sun over the Raisina Hills, the iconic Vijay Chowk in New Delhi came live to foot-tapping tunes and synchronised steps by members of the armed forces during the 'Beating Retreat' ceremony, marking the culmination of the 76th Republic Day celebrations. The ceremony which began with the massed band’s ‘Kadam Kadam Badhaye Ja’ tune, witnessed music bands of the Indian Army, Indian Navy, and the Indian Air Force, along with combined band of CAPF playing captivating tunes like ‘Aye Mere Watan Ke Logon’ and ‘Drummers Call’ before a distinguished audience including President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The event came to an end with the ever-popular tune of ‘Sare Jahan se Acha’ played by the Buglers. The ceremony which has been a part of Republic Day celebrations since 1955 traces its origins to the early 1950s when Major Roberts of the Indian Army indigenously developed the unique ceremony of display by the massed bands. It marks a centuries-old military tradition, when the troops ceased fighting, sheathed their arms, withdrew from the battlefield, and returned to the camps at sunset at the sounding of the Retreat. #RepublicDay #NewDelhi #VijayChowk Subscribe to SouthAsia Newsline ► https://bit.ly/3pmDSR3 Don't forget to press THE BELL ICON to never miss any updates ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enjoy and stay connected with us!! ☛ Visit our Official website: http://www.southasianewsline.com/ ☛ Subscribe us: https://bit.ly/3pmDSR3 ☛ Follow us: / sasianewsline ☛ Like us: / southasianewsline ☛ Official channel of South Asia Newsline - a weekday newscast ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- South Asia Newsline, India News, Pakistan News, Afghanistan News, Bangladesh News, Nepal News, Sri Lanka News, South Asia Weekday Bulletin, English News Bullletin
