The Uttar Pradesh and Assam tableau on display during the 67th Republic Day parade at Rajpath.

The tableau of Uttar Pradesh depicts Zardozi one of the ancient and lavish embroidery patronized in the past by the Nawabs of the Awadh and other royal people. This distinguished style of traditional Indian embroidery has been practiced and passed on from generations, in various parts of Uttar Pradesh. Zardozi is the main source of income for artisans of Lucknow and other adjoining parts. These products are exported to foreign countries also.

Zardozi embroidery is impressively ornamental and involves profound use of crusted gold thread work.

Initially, the embroidery was done with pure silver wires and real gold leaves. However, today, craftsmen make use of a combination of copper wire, with a golden or silver polish, and a silk thread.

The Assam tableau showcases the local people of Assam engaged in celebration of their important festival in the backdrop of a typical hut in an Assamese village. In the courtyard, young boys and girls of Assam are seen performing traditional Bihu dance and an Assamese couple welcoming friends and relatives to their home for the festivities.

Rongali Bihu or Bohag Bihu is the most important festival of state of Assam. It is celebrated in spring season during the month of April. Rangoli Bihu festival also marks the beginning of the Assamese New Year.
