2013 Republic Day India Beating the Retreat tickets

Like the parade at Rajpath, the Beating the Retreat Ceremony is an important part of the Republic Day of India celebrations. In fact, this ceremony marks the end of the celebrations. The music bands from all the sections of the Indian Armed Forces, namely, Army, Navy and Airforce, are part of the ceremony. The most exciting part of these bands is when only the drummers perform the Drummer's Call. At the very end is the sound of bugles at 6p.m., to announce the end.

The Band Master who leads the entire ceremony then formally marches up to the Chief Guest, who is the President of India, and takes permission to lead back all the bands. Then the bands turn back, playing the music of the patriotic song Saare Jahan Se Achcha. The National Anthem is sung, the tricolour lowered from its flag post and thus the celebrations formally come to a fitting end.
