More than a year after the state of Jammu and Kashmir was bifurcated into the Union Territories of J&K and Ladakh, a tableau representing Ladakh will take part in the Republic Day Parade this year for the first time ever. Ladakh’s tableau will depict the iconic Thiksey Monastery located on top of a hill in Thikse in Leh district, which is one of the most-visited tourist sites in the region, Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh said on Sunday. It will also feature the Indian Astronomical Observatory, located in Hanle near Leh. On August 5, 2019, the central government scrapped the provision of Article 370, bifurcating the state into two Union Territories — Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
India is all set to display its military might during the annual parade on January 26 at Rajpath.
The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) tableau and Rafale fighter aircraft will be among some key attractions in the 2021 R-Day parade.
Uttar Pradesh’s tableau will feature a replica of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, which is currently under construction. It will also display the culture, tradition and art related to the temple town.
