The nation is all set to celebrate its 77th Republic Day. As every year, a grand parade and special events will be held in New Delhi on January 26th, including the 'At Home' reception at Rashtrapati Bhavan (the Presidential Palace). President Droupadi Murmu will host the 'At Home' reception at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Republic Day, for which special invitations have been sent to guests.
The special invitation card sent by Rashtrapati Bhavan for the 'At Home' reception on Republic Day 2026 is dedicated to the skilled artisans and craftspeople of the Ashtalakshmi states. The Ashtalakshmi states are the eight states of Northeast India, known for their rich and diverse art and crafts, created using centuries-old techniques and local materials.
According to the Rashtrapati Bhavan website, this invitation card has been designed as a confluence of elements reflecting the distinct traditions that shape daily life in each state of India's Northeast region, the mastery of people in unique handicraft techniques, and the natural ecosystems that sustain their homes. It is designed to adorn walls long after the Republic Day 2026 celebrations, serving as a beautiful portrayal of the vibrant heritage and artistic traditions of India's Northeast region.
The Invitation Card Cover and Box
Bamboo holds special significance in the economy and traditions of India's Northeast region. Through weaving, construction, and traditional crafts, it provides livelihoods. Its rapid growth and versatility also make it crucial for environmentally friendly development.
The invitation card box uses a woven bamboo mat, woven with dyed cotton threads in the warp and fine bamboo strips in the weft: a technique commonly used in the state of Tripura. The outer packaging features a handmade paper tag for writing your address, along with a bamboo artwork crafted from specially smoke-treated bamboo strips, giving it a dark brown color.
