January 23, 2023

India is to celebrate its 74th republic day this year. On this day, the Constitution Head, the President of India, Smt Draupadi Murmu will hoist the National Flag at Raj Path. During the event, different models and scenes from history are depicted. On this republic day, the tableau will reflect Nari Shakti, meaning women’s power. Seventeen states and union territories are to participate in the tableau. They will depict the scenes from Ramanyana and Mahabharata. This is the first republic day celebration after the Rajpath was renamed the Kartavya Path.

How are the Tableaus selected?

The Defence Ministry set up a group and is solely responsible for the tableaus. The group comprises of eminent persons from music, painting, art, architecture, etc. The committee scrutinizes the tableaus based on different factors like theme, colors, simplicity, etc. A common man should understand the expressions of the tableau easily. The participants then create a 3D model for final approval.

Issues

The West Bengal Tableau was rejected. Bengal CM has written to Prime Minister Modi demanding the reasons for the rejection
