The weekend turned historic for Jaipurites as they witnessed a rare spectacle: Indian Army contingents taking to the streets for public rehearsal sessions ahead of the upcoming Army Day celebrations. Parade rehearsals held on Saturday and Sunday along Mahal Road in Jagatpura brought India’s military might vividly to life. Marching soldiers in colourful uniforms, perfectly synchronised formations, and the sheer discipline on display made for a compelling sight.
