“Swarnim Bharat: Virasat aur Vikas” to Shine Through Tableaux at Republic Day Parade 2025.
New Delhi:
The theme for the Republic Day Celebration (RDC) 2025 has been set as ‘Swarnim Bharat: Virasat aur Vikas’, highlighting India’s rich heritage and ongoing progress. The tableaux displayed by various states, Union Territories, and government ministries on Kartavya Path will reflect this theme, showcasing the nation’s cultural legacy and development.
The Ministry of Defence initiated a consultative process early in 2024 to enhance the quality of tableaux for the upcoming parade. After a series of discussions, suggestions were incorporated from states, UTs, and experts in art, culture, and architecture to ensure diversity and creativity in the presentations. A senior-level meeting in April 2024 further refined the selection criteria, ensuring that the tableaux would embody both the historical richness and modern growth of India.
The tableaux selection process involves an evaluation by an Expert Committee, comprising eminent figures from various artistic fields. This robust, transparent, and merit-based process ensures that only the most unique and communicable tableaux are selected for display.
For RDC-2025, 15 states and UTs will participate, including Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, and others. Additionally, 11 Union Ministries and Departments will present their own tableaux. These tableaux will not only grace the Republic Day Parade but will also be showcased during the Bharat Parv at the Red Fort from 26th to 31st January 2025.
The tableaux will celebrate India’s diversity and its dynamic path toward a prosperous future, encapsulating the essence of “Swarnim Bharat – Virasat aur Vikas” for a global audience.
