January 29-BEATING RETREAT
After 3 days
of republic day parade, a moving ceremony known as ‘Beating retreat’ is held at
Vijaya Chowk in New Delhi. This ceremony revives an ancient war custom
according to which troops used to stop fighting at sun set Bugles announcing
the sunset would sound in the battle field. As soon as the soldiers heard
theses bugles they would stand still in the battle field and war would be
stopped for the day.
This
ceremony held on the 29th of January every year, marks the formal
end of the republic day celebrations.
