A tableau of Gurdwara Hemkund Sahib, situated at an altitude of about 15,000 feet from the sea level, in Uttarakhand, will be displayed during the Republic Day parade at Rajpath in New Delhi on January 26.

Disclosing this, Gurdwara Sri Hemkund Sahib Management Trust vice-chairman Narinderpal Singh Bindra said one of the tableaux to be displayed at the parade would portray the glory of the holy Sikh shrine, representing Uttarakhand.

The Defence Ministry had said 12 states/UTs had been selected to display their tableaux. They are Arunachal, Haryana, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Gujarat, J&K, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Meghalaya, Punjab, UP, and Uttarakhand. “It is a matter of pride for the Sikh community. ‘Satnam Waheguru’ will recite in the background. The rear part will depict the holy shrine of Badrinath and middle will display a valley of flowers,” he said. —
