Uttar Pradesh's tableau at the Rajpath Republic Day parade showcased the Kashi Vishwanath Dham and depicted the schemes implemented by the state government.
The state's tableau highlighted the One District One Product (ODOP) scheme to emphasise how it had helped in the areas of skill development and employment. The scheme aims at adopting the ODOP approach to reap benefits of scale in terms of procurement of inputs, availing common services, and marketing of products.
The tableau led with products from each district, such as traditional crafts, hand-weaved items, and other handicrafts.
The Kashi Vishwanath Dham and its history were crucial aspects of the UP tableau. At the centre of the tableau was a model of the temple and its three gateways.
At the annual Republic Day procession, tableaux from 12 states and 9 Union Ministries were displayed, and a grand 75-aircraft flypast by the Indian Air Force was performed.
The parade was held on the newly developed Central Vista avenue.
