Vijay Chowk reverberates to Indian tunes during Beating Retreat 2024
Updated:2 years, 6 months ago
New Delhi Jan 29 (ANI): The historic Vijay Chowk in the national capital came to life to foot-tapping tunes and synchronized steps by members of armed forces during the 'Beating Retreat' ceremony on Monday to mark the end of Republic Day celebrations. The setting sun provided a majestic background as soldiers marched to Indian tunes. The music bands of the Indian Army, Indian Navy, Indian Air Force, and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) played captivating tunes before a distinguished audience including President Droupadi Murmu, who is Supreme Commander of defence forces, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and union ministers. 'Beating Retreat' traces its origins to the early 1950s when Major Roberts of the Indian Army indigenously developed the unique ceremony of display by the massed bands. It marks a centuries-old military tradition, when the troops ceased fighting, sheathed their arms, withdrew from the battlefield, and returned to the camps at sunset at the sounding of the Retreat.
