Delhi Prepares for Republic Day 2026
India is getting ready for Republic Day on January 26, 2026, which is a big celebration of the country's Constitution.
The main event is a parade at Kartavya Path in New Delhi, where the Prime Minister and President will honor fallen heroes and unfurl the National Flag.
This year, two important leaders from Europe will be special guests.
The parade will show off colorful floats from different states and government departments, and there will be awards for brave soldiers and children.
The Indian Air Force will also perform a spectacular flypast with fighter jets.
To keep everyone safe, the Delhi Police will use special AI glasses that can recognize faces and detect hidden weapons.
There will be many road closures and traffic restrictions, so people are advised to plan their travel carefully and use public transport.
Tickets for the parade are very cheap and can be bought online or at certain locations in Delhi.
