29th January: Beating Retreat Ceremony observed today

  • Every year on 29th January the 'Beating Retreat' ceremony is celebrated at Vijay Chowk in New Delhi.
  • 'Beating the Retreat' traces its origins to the early 1950s when Major Roberts of the Indian Army indigenously developed the unique ceremony of display by the massed bands.
  • It also marks a centuries-old military tradition, when the troops ceased fighting, sheathed their arms and withdrew from the battlefield and returned to the camps at sunset at the sounding of the Retreat.
