There will be no change of guard ceremony on August 5 and 12 due to rehearsals of the Independence Day ceremony, the Rashtrapati Bhavan said in a statement on Friday.
The change of guard ceremony is a military tradition that is held every week to enable a fresh group of the President's Bodyguards to take charge. "The Change of Guard ceremony will not take place on August 5 and August 12, 2023, due to rehearsals of Independence Day ceremony," it said.
