Republic Day 2024: Google Doodle Details

According to the latest details, various elements of the Republic Day parade are shown in the Google Doodle on Friday, 26 January. You can see the Rashtrapati Bhavan, the India Gate, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) marching contingent, etc.

On 26 January 1950, India officially declared itself a sovereign, democratic, and republic state after adopting the Constitution. It is important to note that India gained its freedom from the British Empire in 1947 and started drafting its Constitution soon after.

The India Constituent Assembly took approximately two years to discuss, modify, and approve the governing document.

India became the only country with the longest Constitution. The adoption of the document created the way for democracy and empowered Indian citizens to choose their representatives.

Different parades are organised across the country to observe the national holiday. The largest parade takes place at Kartavya Path, in New Delhi. After a ceremonial wreath-laying to honour martyred soldiers, regiments of India's armed forces and tableaus showcase cultural and historical heritage march through the street.

To conclude the event, the Beating Retreat ceremony is organised on the evening of 29 January. Everyone takes part in the festivities to celebrate Republic Day in its true essence.
