It is held at Vijay Chowk in New Delhi, where the armed forces and other military bands perform in a grand display of discipline and patriotism. The tradition dates back to the days of the British Army, but in India, it was formalized after Independence. The "beating the retreat" ceremony originally referred to a military practice, where soldiers would "beat the retreat" by signaling the end of the day's operations, typically by playing music and retreating to their camps. In the Indian context, it symbolizes the conclusion of the Republic Day festivities, honoring the sacrifices of the military and celebrating the unity and integrity of the nation. The event includes performances by military bands, and it culminates with the lowering of the national flag and the playing of the national anthem, signaling the end of the Republic Day celebrations. The event is a patriotic display of India's military prowess, and it also reflects the country’s respect for its armed forces.
