Simultaneously, the National Anthem was played and the 21 Gun Salute presented to the President.
In keeping with tradition, the Tricolour was unfurled followed by the National Anthem. Thereafter, the booming of the indigenous 105-mm Indian Field Guns rent the air during the 21-gun salute.
President Murmu and her French counterpart Emmanuel Macron, who was the chief guest at this year's Republic Day celebrations, were escorted by the President's Bodyguard'Rashtrapati Ke Angrakshak'.
The gun salute was presented by the Ceremonial Battery of 871 Field Regiment (SHINGO) ex HQ 36 Artillery Brigade. The Ceremonial Battery was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Vikas Kumar, SM.
21 Gun Salute is the highest military honour presented to the National Flag from the Kartavya path. The gun salute is synchronized with three simultaneous actions viz-a-viz, unfurling of the National Flag, Playing of the National Anthem by the Service bands and the national salute rendered by the President's Bodyguard.
