New Delhi, Jan 26 : Republic Day celebrations in the national capital Monday were dampened with light rain since Sunday night.

Despite the light showers, enthusiastic people reached Rajpath to witness the parade which showcases India's military prowess and cultural diversity. Due to the security threat, people were not even allowed to carry umbrellas to the venue.
