Screengrab from a video tweeted by @DDNational

India’s Republic Day is celebrated annually on January 26 to mark the date on which the Constitution of India came into effect in 1950. The theme for this year’s Republic Day is “participation of the common people.” Republic Day celebrations are marked with a parade in the national capital of Delhi. The parade starts from the Rashtrapati Bhavan and proceeds towards India Gate. The highlight of the Republic Day parade is the display of floats representing different states of India that typically showcase arts and handicrafts unique to that region.

People can also purchase tickets to watch the Republic Day parade live in New Delhi on January 26.
