The change of guard ceremony will not take place on November 11 and 18 due to preparations for the 250 years celebrations of the President's Bodyguard, the Rashtrapati Bhavan said on Friday.
The change of guard ceremony is a military tradition that is held every week to enable a fresh group of the President's Bodyguards to take charge.
"The change of guard ceremony will not take place on November 11 and 18, 2023 at Rashtrapati Bhavan due to preparations for the 250 years celebrations of the President's Bodyguard," the Rashtrapati Bhavan said in a statement.
