President Droupadi Murmu will lead the nation in celebrating the 74th Republic Day with Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi as the chief guest for the ceremonial event.
A total of 23 tableaux -- 17 from states and Union territories and six from various ministries and departments -- depicting India's vibrant cultural heritage, and economic and social progress will be part of the parade on the Kartavya Path.
For the first time, a combined band and marching contingent of the Egyptian Armed Forces will be taking part in the parade. The contingent will consist of 144 soldiers.
The Republic Day celebrations will take place on the revamped Central Vista avenue and will be the first at the ceremonial boulevard after Rajpath was renamed to Kartavya Path last year.
