India put on a spectacular display of military strength and technological advancement during the Republic Day celebrations on Monday. From the thundering roar of Rafales and Sukhois to the precision formations of helicopters symbolising Operation Sindoor, Kartavya Path witnessed the powerful emergence of New India. The theme of the 77th Republic Day was centred around the 150-year legacy of Vande Mataram, with thirty tableaux highlighting Freedom through Vande Mataram and Prosperity through Aatmanirbhar Bharat. The Indian Air Force also carried out an impressive flypast featuring fighter jets, transport aircraft and helicopters in synchronised formations.
