With sun setting down over the Raisina Hills, the historic Vijay Chowk in the national capital came live to foot-tapping tunes and synchronised steps by members of armed forces during the 'Beating Retreat' ceremony on Monday, marking the end of Republic Day celebrations. The event which began with the massed band’s ‘Shankhnaad’ witnessed music bands of the Indian Army, Indian Navy, Indian Air Force along with combined band of CAPF playing captivating tunes before a distinguished audience including President Droupadi Murmu, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other union ministers. The ceremony which has been a part of Republic Day celebrations since 1955 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.
