A total of 1,000 "made in India" drones made different formations as part of a rehearsal for the Beating Retreat ceremony at Vijay Chowk.
This year's Beating Retreat ceremony will, for the first time, have a laser show and a drone show with background music. The ceremony will mark the end of this year's Republic Day celebrations that began on January 23. This will also be the first time that the parapet of the north and south blocks will have a laser projection mapping show to commemorate 75 years of India's independence.
Hundreds of drones made different formations on Tuesday evening near the Rashtrapati Bhavan on the evening of the 73rd Republic Day. Visuals from Raisina Hill show several complex and stunning formations by hordes of drones that light up and change colour as well. The lasers projected on the parapet show artwork and moving visuals with music and narration in the background.
