75th Independence Day: Red Fort decked up in tricolours, flowers and murals
The entrance of the Red Fort was guarded by two mechanised elephants - operated by a man sitting inside each of them - which became a big draw for people who were seen clicking selfies with them after the programme ended. A bunch of tricolour balloons were also released in the air from the Red Fort, after the Prime Minister's speech ended. For the first time in 75 years, an indigenously developed howitzer gun was also used during the 21-gun salute at the Red Fort.
