Republic Day 2026 Parade: Republic Day 2026 is fast approaching, and this year, India is commemorating 77 years since the adoption of our Constitution on 26th January 1950. This historic day is a symbol of national pride, with the grand parade at Kartavya Path in New Delhi taking centre stage. The celebrations will begin with Prime Minister Narendra Modi paying tribute to the nation's fallen heroes at the National War Memorial. Subsequently, President Droupadi Murmu will ceremoniously hoist the National Flag.

This year's Republic Day celebrations are especially significant, as we are honoured to host two distinguished international leaders as chief guests: António Luís Santos da Costa, President of the European Council, and Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission.
