Military regiments from the Indian Armed Forces rehearse for the Republic Day Parade on Rajpath for days before the main event on 26th January each year.  They are joined by the Indian Military Bands who put up an exclusive show on 29th January when the ceremony closes on Vijay Chowk, known as Beating Retreat.

Thira is a ritual dance-drama where various deities of the land are invoked and they give divine blessings for the welfare of the land and the people. Thira is unique to the Malabar region in Northern Kerala, where it is performed in sacred shrines and ancestral temples located in kavus (Courtesy: Kirthana Devdas)

The Tuluvas engage spiritually with a host of local spirits and deities during the annual celebration of Bhuta-Kola; bhuta meaning spirit and kola meaning play or performance, in the Tulu language. During the ritual, oracles summon bhutas and are temporarily possessed by them, forecasting future events or acting as mediators to provide moral guidance and resolve legal disputes.

The Chinese word gun refers to a long staff used as a weapon. It is one of the four major weapons, along with the qiang (spear), dao (sabre), and the jian (straight sword), used in Chinese martial arts.
