Republic Day 2026 : Theme of this year's float on Republic Day, 'State Festival' Ganeshotsav

In this year's Republic Day celebration, Maharashtra's float will attract the attention of the entire nation. For the first time after Ganeshotsav was given the status of a state festival, the theme of Maharashtra's float in the grand parade on Kartavya Path will be 'Ganeshotsav'.

The Ganesh festival, a symbol of Maharashtra's social, cultural, and historical tradition, will be depicted through this tableau. The tradition of the public Ganesh festival started by Lokmanya Tilak, social unity, folk art, and devotion will be beautifully showcased. This tableau will display Maharashtra's folk culture, the sound of drums, heritage, sculpture, and the confluence of modernity, introducing the entire country to Maharashtra's rich tradition.

After Ganeshotsav was given the status of a state festival, Maharashtra's presence on this national stage in the capital is considered historic. This has led to the sentiment across the state that the chant of 'Ganpati Bappa Morya' will resonate directly on Kartavya Path. This year's tableau is not just a glimpse, but a proud celebration of Maharashtra's faith, culture, and unity.
