        Republic Day Tableaux Selection Process\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n
          \n
        • Republic Day Tableaux are selected through a two-stage selection by an expert committee under the Ministry of Defence.<\/span><\/li>\n
        • States, Union Territories, and various departments submit design sketches for their proposed tableaux. An expert committee evaluates these proposals.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
        • This committee comprises experts in fields such as arts, culture, painting, sculpture, music, architecture, and choreography.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n

        • First, the committee assesses initial sketches, suggesting modifications if needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Second, approved designs move to a 3D model stage for final selection.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          States not selected for the main parade can still display their tableaux at Bharat Parv. This alternative event takes place at the Red Fort from January 26-31.<\/span><\/p>\n
