INTRODUCTION:
Rajpath, Delhi is the ceremonial avenue for the most prestigious event of the country. The Republic Day Parade, celebrated to mark the occasion of India becoming a Republic. Rajpath which literally mean ‘the king’s way’ was planned as the central avenue by Sir Edwin Lutyen. On the western end of the street are the Rashtrapati Bhawan and the two Secretariats. The famous India Gate and the Purana Qila is on the eastern side. However the construction of the National Stadium has blocked the view of the medieval fortress. The street is well planned with beautiful ponds, lush green lawns and trees on both sides of the street. The greeneries around the avenue give a cool and pleasant atmosphere for both the morning walker and the evening picnickers. The most noticeable aspect of the street is the Jamun trees and the Java plum, planted all along the streets reduces the heat during the summer days. Every year on the 26th of January, the Rajpath is decorated and given a bridal look for the famous Republic Day Parade.

On the 29th of January the beating retreat originates from the Vijay Chowk and passes through the Rapath.
