Daredevil stunts performed by police personnel on motorcycles and horses, tableaux showing achievements of Gujarat and cultural events marked the state's 71st Republic Day event held at Rajkot in Saurashtra on Sunday.
State Governor Acharya Devvrat, Chief Minister Vijay Rupani, state ministers and senior government were present at the function held at the Racecourse Ground.
A large number of people were present to witness the event held in the morning.
After unfurling the tricolour, the governor inspected the guard of honour in an open jeep, with Rupani accompanying him.
The governor received salute from 28 platoons.
As many as 922 policemen took part in the event along with the platoons of Indian Army, Indian Coast Guard, police commandos, and state reserve police jawans, among others.
