The President of India's Boyguards who are a handpicked lot form the oldest regiment of the India Army and the senior most as well. The incredible Horse riding performance is put up by them at the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
The ceremony customarily includes a mounted parade, followed by an Audio Video Show on the significance of the Silver Trumpet and Trumpet Banner and the history of PBG. A showcase of equestrian skills and a musical ride are also performed by the PBG as a part of the ceremony. Apart from remarkable drills, skills of horsemanship and ceremonial insignia, the regiment mounted on the resplendently groomed horses exhibits discipline and morale.
The PBG, being the President of India's own troops, has the unique honor of being the only regiment in the Indian Army that is privileged to carry the President's Silver Trumpet and The Trumpet Banner. In a ceremonious presentation, the President of India bestows the distinguished trumpet and the trumpet banner to his bodyguard. The trumpet banner has the Ashoka Lions as well as the initials of the President of India.
