After a year’s gap, the Delhi tableau made a comeback at the Republic Day Parade in Rajpath on Saturday.

To Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary, a white-coloured Delhi tableau highlighted his stay at the Birla House.

The middle part of the tableau highlighted Gandhi holding his daily prayer meeting — attended by people from all sections of society —, the Delhi government said in a statement.

It added that he had stayed there between 1915 and 1948 and visited the city nearly 80 times, staying more than 700 days of his life here.

In 2017, the Delhi government put up a tableau on the theme of government schools, which highlighted various steps interventions made in the education sector. The Delhi tableau which was not there in 2014-2016 had made a comeback in 2018. However, it was again not presented in 2018.
