A glimpse of patriotism can be seen

This new time has been implemented from May 1. That is, tourists or locals who are now planning to witness the ceremony will have to arrive at the new timings. Beating Retreat Ceremony is a special tradition performed by the soldiers of India and Pakistan, which gives a glimpse of enthusiasm, discipline and patriotism.

‘Beating the retreat’ is a centuries old military tradition

Interestingly, “beating the retreat” is an old military tradition. In earlier wars, when the sun went down, the battle would be stopped, a song of cessation would be played, and then the armies of both sides would return to their camps. The concept of ‘Beating the Retreat’ ceremony has been created from this old method. Military forces of many countries around the world have such a program. India has also included this tradition in the Republic Day celebrations. So now the Chief of Army Staff asks the President to return to his camp after the ceremony.
