Tableaux and contingents of various States and Ministries depicted the theme 'Nari Shkati' during India's 74th Republic Day celebrations in Delhi on Thursday, 26 January.
Karnataka's tableau celebrated Sulagitti Narasamma, a midwife, and environmentalists Tulsi Gowda Halakki, also known as Vruksha Maate (mother of trees), and Salumarada Thimmakka for their selfless contributions to the society.
On the other hand, Kerala's tableau, themed — "Nari Shakti and Folk Traditions of Women Empowerment" — displayed Kalaripayattu, a martial art with more than 2,000 years history, percussion and tribal traditions.
Here's a look at all the tableaux displaying 'Nari Shakti.'
