School children from different parts of the country performed various traditional Indian dance forms at the 71st Republic Day parade here on Sunday.
Kids from the state of Gujarat, Rajasthan and West Bengal were seen performing amid roaring reception from the enthusiastic crowds at the event.
At the parade, India's military might, cultural diversity, social and economic progress was displayed during the celebrations.
Prime Minister Narendra Narendra Modi, who hails from Gujarat, looked particularly amused as 150 girls from different schools of Gujarat performed Garba, the state's popular folk dance.
Earlier, President Ram Nath Kovind unfurled the National Flag and received the customary 21-gun salute ahead of the parade.
Celebrations for the 71st Republic Day began with Brazilian President Jair Messias Bolsonaro in attendance as the chief guest.
