Republic Day is a significant and very relevant day. On this date in 1950, india ratified its constitution. This day is thus observed as a national holiday. Delhi's Kartavya Path hosts a Republic Day parade to commemorate the occasion, showcasing the power of the nation's military, which comprises the indian Army, Navy, and air Force.
 
From Rashtrapati Bhavan, the procession travels via Vijay Chowk, Kartavya Path, C-Hexagon, the statue of Netaji subhash chandra Bose, Tilak Marg, bahadur shah zafar (BSZ) Marg, and finally arrives at the red Fort's Netaji Subhash Marg. The President of india unfurls the indian flag at Kartavya Path before the Republic Day Parade.
 
It is crucial to remember that the indian flag is unfurled on Republic Day, even if it is raised at the red Fort on Independence Day. Discover why the indian flag is raised on one day and lowered on another by reading on it.
 
Independence Day hoisting
 
The flag was raised on august 15, the day india was emancipated from british domination. This indicates that the flag is lifted from its base to its highest point, where it flutters in the breeze. At red Fort, the nation's prime minister raises the flag.
 
Republic Day unfolding
 
India's constitution was adopted on january 26th, which is why the flag was raised on this day. At the top of the pole where the flag is unfurled, it is already there. This is carried out since, by the time the constitution was ratified in 1950, the nation had already achieved independence. As a result, on Republic Day, the indian flag is unfurled rather than raised.
