New Delhi, 26th Jan: The tableau of the Ministry of Ayush captivated audiences at the 77th Republic Day Parade at Kartavya Path, presenting a comprehensive narrative of India’s traditional systems of medicine integrated with modern technology.

The tableau, conceptualised under the National Ayush Mission (NAM), was based on the theme “Ayush ka Tantra, Swasthya ka Mantra”, aligning with the national vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat and people-centric development.

It highlighted India’s civilisational approach to health and well-being, showcasing traditional systems such as Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa-Rigpa and Homoeopathy, and their role in strengthening preventive, promotive and community-based healthcare.

The front section depicted the foundational roots of Ayush through symbolic representations of traditional health knowledge in harmony with nature. Sculptural elements and medicinal plant motifs underlined the close relationship between human health and the natural ecosystem, emphasising sustainability and holistic living.

The tableau further showcased the structured integration of Ayush into the national healthcare framework through NAM. Visuals highlighted the expansion of Ayush services at the grassroots level, including Ayushman Arogya Mandir (Ayush), institutional capacity-building, education and research initiatives aimed at improving accessibility and standardisation.

Technology-enabled wellness delivery formed a major focus, with visuals depicting digital platforms supporting maternal and child care, elderly well-being and the early introduction of Ayush concepts in schools. These reflected a comprehensive life-cycle approach to healthcare.

An artistic segment portraying Arishadvarga — the six inner challenges — symbolised the role of Ayush practices in promoting mental balance, emotional well-being and inner discipline, underlining the importance of preventive healthcare and self-care in addressing lifestyle-related health concerns.

Community participation was highlighted through depictions of Yoga practices, commonly used Ayush medicines and meditative postures, symbolising harmony of body, mind and spirit.

The tableau also showcased digital initiatives such as Supraja, Vayomitra and Ayurvidya, reflecting the growing use of technology to strengthen wellness delivery under NAM.

Three-dimensional depictions of therapies such as Marma, Shirodhara and Cupping highlighted the diversity of India’s therapeutic traditions, along with references to pioneers who helped spread traditional medicine knowledge globally.

Interactive mascot elements representing Ayush digital applications including Y-Break Pro, WHO mYoga, Namaste Yoga and Prakriti Parikshan illustrated the role of technology in expanding outreach, encouraging citizen participation and promoting preventive healthcare.

The tableau concluded with a depiction of an Ayurveda College, symbolising institutional continuity, education and excellence, and reinforcing Ayush as a dynamic and evolving pillar of India’s public health system and global wellness leadership.
