Answer: Beating Retreat Ceremony
Notes: The Beating Retreat Ceremony held in Vijay Chowk, Delhi, marks the end to the four-day-long Republic Day celebrations in India. It is also called ‘Beating the Retreat’. This year 29 Indian tunes were played by the music bands of the Army, the Navy, the Air Force and the State Police and the Central Armed Police Force (CAPF). Last year, an English hymn and a favourite of Mahatma Gandhi called Abide With Me was dropped.
