However, the pinnacle moment arrived with the pledge for 2047, symbolizing the centenary of India's liberation from colonial rule. The performance commenced with a poignant portrayal of India's journey, from its ancient civilizational roots to the modern era, highlighting milestones such as the invention of zero and advancements in space exploration.
Emphasizing the pivotal roles of "Nari Shakti" and "Yuva Shakti," the performances resonated with chants of "Vande Bharatam," underscoring the spirit of unity and diversity that defines the nation.
