Changing of the Guard, Rashtrapati Bhavan, New Delhi
Not quite Buckingham Palace, but our own version that's fast developing... Note the quick burst of The Keel Row at 04:56 and then Auld Lang Syne at the end, after the Indian National Anthem.
The Change of Guard is a military tradition the origins of which are deeply rooted in the past. From time immemorial, guards and sentries at palaces, forts and defence establishments have been changed at regular intervals to enable a fresh body of troops take charge.
A ceremonial change of guard is held at the official place of residence of the President of India or The Rashtrapati Bhavan. The old and fresh guard consists of troops from the President's Body Guard or the PBG) and another squad from one of the numerous regiments of the Indian Army. A military band is also present and performs at the event.
The change of Guard ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhavan was first opened to the public in the year 2007. After the assumption of office by the current President, Shri Pranab Mukherjee, the ceremony has been reconditioned and relocated to make it more visually appealing and people friendly. A horse-riding display by the Presidents' Body Guard has been added to the ceremony and the venue has been shifted to the Forecourt of the Rashtrapati Bhavan, to grant easier access to the public.
The equestrian or horse riding display presents the horse and man in ceremonial regalia, performing in harmony with the music of a military brass band. The 30 minute ceremony commences with the PBG troops, astride their caparisoned, sleekly muscled, powerful and well groomed horses advancing from behind the Jaipur column to the tune of 'Maa Tujhe Salaam' played by the Army Brass Band. The Army Guard contingent then marches in and the new guard replaces the old guard.
Once the New Guard has formed between the Dominion columns of the North Block, sentries are nominated and the respective guards are inspected by their officers as the band plays 'Sammaan Guard' or The Honour Guard.
The New Guard forms up along with the Old Guard and awaits the formal salutation of Salami Shastra or Presentation of Arms by the latter to the former to formally signify readiness for the change-over. Accompanied by music, the handing over of keys is performed by the Junior Commissioned Officers of the Old and New Guard patrol, symbolizing transfer of responsibility of commanders during this changeover.
The men of the President's Bodyguard consist of the old warrior classes of the Rajputs, Sikhs and the Jats. Recruitment standards are strict and the minimum height requirement for the troops is six feet.
The sentries of the Old Guard and the Junior Commissioned Officers return to their posts. The Old Guard marches off to the tune Saare Jahan Se Achcha. The New Guard assumes charge and the rest of the of the troops march off while the band plays Amar Jawan or Immortal Soldier.
The day's ceremony ends with an equestrian display by the PBG before they ride away towards the Rashtrapati Bhavan to the tune of the National Anthem.
The Change of the Guard at the Rashtrapati Bhavan is a colourful and regal spectacle which involves great pageantry. The ceremony lasts for about 30 minutes and has been popular with visitors to New Delhi. This ceremony is something that every proud Indian as well as a person from any other nationality who wants to see a regal and awe-inspiring India truly must experience at least once in a lifetime.

भारत का आलिशान घर राष्ट्रपती भवन जानिये उसका इतिहास | Rashtrapati Bhavan
The Governor-General of Fort William resided in Belvedere House, Calcutta, until the early nineteenth century, when Government House, Calcutta (now Raj Bhavan, Kolkata) was constructed. Lord Wellesley, who is reputed to have said that ‘India should be governed from a palace, not from a country house’, ordered the construction of a grand mansion between 1799 and 1803 and in 1854, the Lieutenant Governor of Bengal took up residence there. The decision to build a residence in New Delhi for the British Viceroy was taken after it was decided during the Delhi Durbar in December 1911 that the capital of India would be relocated from Calcutta to Delhi. When the plan for a new city, New Delhi, adjacent to end south of Old Delhi, was developed after the Delhi Durbar, the new palace for the Viceroy of India was given an enormous size and prominent position. About 4,000 acres of land was acquired to begin the construction of Viceroy's House, as it was originally called, and adjacent Secretariat Building between 1911 and 1916 by relocating Raisina and Malcha villages that existed there and their 300 families under the Land & Acquisition Act.
The sloping approach from the east, which hides the lower part of the building, as Lutyens feared.
The British architect Edwin Landseer Lutyens, a major member of the city-planning process, was given the primary architectural responsibility. The completed Governor-General's palace turned out very similar to the original sketches which Lutyens sent Herbert Baker, from Simla, on 14 June 1912. Lutyens' design is grandly classical overall, with colors and details inspired by Indian architecture. Lutyens and Baker, who had been assigned to work on Viceroy's House and the Secretariats, began on friendly terms. Baker had been assigned to work on the two secretariat buildings which were in front of Viceroy's House. The original plan was to have Viceroy's House on the top of Raisina Hill, with the secretariats lower down. It was later decided to build it 400 yards back and put both buildings on top of the plateau. While Lutyens wanted Viceroy's House to be higher, he was forced to move it back from the intended position, which resulted in a dispute with Baker. After completion, Lutyens argued with Baker, because the view of the front of the building was obscured by the high angle of the road.
