From the archive record

Recipients of the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar travel along Rajpath in decorated open-top vehicles during the 71st Republic Day Parade in New Delhi on January 26, 2020. The yellow safari-style jeeps are covered with marigold flowers and greenery as the young award winners are taken along the parade route. A marching contingent in blue and white uniforms follows closely behind the vehicles. Large crowds fill the spectator stands on both sides of the avenue, with Indian tricolor flags lining the viewing areas.
