In a move aligned with seasonal changes, the iconic Change of Guard ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhavan will now take place earlier in the morning, between 7:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m., starting this Saturday, May 17, 2025. The adjustment to summer timings is a thoughtful step to ensure the comfort of both the participating guards and the visitors who gather to witness this proud display of discipline and tradition.
This ceremonial event, held on the forecourt of the President’s residence, has long been a symbol of India’s democratic heritage and military precision. By moving it to a cooler hour of the morning, the authorities have shown sensitivity toward the rising summer temperatures in Delhi, ensuring the experience remains both safe and enjoyable for all.
Visitors interested in attending or learning more about the ceremony can find further details on the official website of Rashtrapati Bhavan.
