Gujarat CM Congratulates Tableau Artists for 3rd Place
Gandhinagar (Gujarat) [India], February 3: The team of artists from Gujarat’s winning tableau at the 76th Republic Day National Parade met Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel in Gandhinagar on Monday. The CM congratulated them for securing third place in the State Cultural Performances, as stated in an official release.
The Gujarat Tableau, titled “From Anartpur to Ektanagar–A Wonderful Confluence of Heritage and Development,” impressed judges and secured a hat trick by winning the highest number of votes in the Popular Choice category, the statement added.
Among 31 tableaux showcased from various states and government departments at the 76th Republic Day Parade, Gujarat’s entry, presented by the Information Department, depicted the state’s blend of modern development and rich heritage, aligned with Prime Minister Modi’s vision.
The event was attended by key officials, including Secretary to the Chief Minister Avantika Singh, K.L. Bachani, Director of Information, Arvind Patel, Additional Director of Information, Jigar Khunt, Deputy Director of Information, and other members from the Information Department.
Earlier in the week, CM Patel had expressed confidence that Gujarat was successfully embodying Prime Minister Modi’s mantra of ‘Virasat Bhi, Vikas Bhi’ through public participation and leadership in national developments.
Citizens were invited to vote online for their favorite tableau in the ‘Popular Choice’ category during the parade. Since its debut at the 74th Republic Day Parade in 2023, Gujarat has consistently led the Popular Choice category, with the first tableau, “Clean Green Energy-rich Gujarat,” making a strong impact.
Last year, Gujarat’s tableau “Dhordo, World’s Best Tourism Village-UNWTO” secured second place in the Jury’s Choice for Excellence of Tableaus.
