Governor flags off Republic Day celebrations in Karnataka
On a bright sunny day, rose petals were showered from an army chopper around the podium area where the governor, his wife, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and other dignitaries were seated.
After unfurling the national flag, Bhardwaj inspected the guard of honour from an open jeep. He received salute from the armed forces, police, National Cadet Corps, Scouts and Guides, and hundreds of school children.
About 5,000 people gathered at the venue cheered the security forces and other participants.
