In celebration of Vijay Diwas, President Droupadi Murmu inaugurated the Param Vir Dirgha at Rashtrapati Bhavan. This gallery is dedicated to showcasing the valor of India's most distinguished military figures.
The gallery now features portraits of all 21 awardees of the Param Vir Chakra, the highest military honor in India. It stands as a tribute to their extraordinary bravery and selflessness. Visitors can learn about the courageous acts of these soldiers, who demonstrated unwavering commitment in defending the country, paying homage to those who sacrificed their lives for the nation.
In a move symbolizing a break from colonial influences, the gallery has replaced portraits of British Aide-de-Camps with those of Indian national heroes. This transition emphasizes India's cultural heritage and honors its rich traditions.
The Param Vir Chakra is awarded for acts of exceptional courage and supreme sacrifice in wartime. The newly inaugurated gallery ensures that the stories and heroics of these military figures continue to inspire future generations.
