Bengaluru: For the first time since 1947, the Army Day Parade will be held in Bengaluru instead of Delhi.

The military troops will perform spectacular bike stunts, skydiving and band presentation.

Army Chief General Manoj Pande will witness the parade and give away the gallantry awards.

Since 1949, the parade has been held on the Cariappa Parade Ground in Delhi Cantonment.

The Indian Air Force's annual parade has also moved from its traditional site to Hindon airbase near Delhi to Chandigarh year.

The Army Day evening function will be held at the Army Service Corps (ASC) Centre and College in the city at 2:30 pm. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will be the chief guest at the function.

After the parade, motorcycle stunts by the ASC Tornadoes team, skydiving by the paratroopers, and a flypast by Army aviation helicopters will be on display.

The event will also see microlight flying, tent pegging, daredevil jumps, band displays, taekwondo and other martial art displays, among other activities.

Army Day is celebrated every year on January 15 to commemorate the day Field Marshal (then General) KM Cariappa took over Indian Army's command from the British in 1949. He was the first Indian to lead the country’s Army.
