New Delhi: 

India's military might and cultural diversity will be showcased today as the country celebrates its 73rd Republic Day.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi greeted the nation by tweeting, "Wishing you all a happy Republic Day. Jai Hind!"

The parade at Rajpath will begin at 10:30 am, half-an-hour later than usual, for better visibility.

This year's parade will feature a grand flypast by 75 Indian Air Force aircraft and helicopters, cultural performances by more then 479 dancers selected through a nationwide Vande Bharatam dance competition and a National Cadet Corps 'Shaheedon Ko Shat Shat Naman' programme that will be beamed on large LED screens.

People were asked to register on the MyGov portal to watch the live event online. They will also be able to vote for the best marching contingent and tableau in the popular choice category.

Only double-vaccinated adults and single-dose vaccinated children of 15 and above will be allowed at the parade. Due to the pandemic, there will be no foreign contingent this year.

The parade will start with Prime Minister Narendra Modi paying tribute to the nation's fallen soldiers at the National War Memorial. The Prime Minister and other dignitaries will then proceed to Rajpath, the ceremonial road in the heart of the capital.

The parade will feature numerous contingents of the Indian Army, with the progression of their uniform and weapons over the last 75 years.
