Why is Kartavya Path the site of Republic Day celebrations?
The Republic Day festivities are held on Kartavya Path, which was once known as Rajpath, because of its historical importance in the Indian independence movement.

The 1.8-kilometer section represents India’s transition from colonial domination to independence as a democratic republic. In September 2022, Kartavya Path replaced Rajpath as the new name.
