The 74th Republic Day of India was also commemorated at the US Embassy in India. The embassy released a beautiful rendition of the country’s national song ‘Vande Mataram’ on Thursday.
The song was shared on the official Instagram handle of the US Embassy in India. The song is crooned by singer and composer Pavithra Chari, who was featured on a 2023 Grammy-nominated album.
The rendition features US diplomats on the instruments wherein US Officers Raghavan was seen playing the flute while Stephanie was on the guitar.
“Happy 74th Republic Day India ! We are celebrating India’s #RepublicDay with a rendition of India’s national song Vande Mataram!” wrote the Indian US Embassy in the Insta post’s caption.
They added, “U.S. Officers Raghavan (flute) and Stephanie (acoustic guitar) team up with @pavithra.chari, singer and composer featured on a @recordingacademy nominated album this year. She is also a U.S. State Department’s @1beatmusic exchange program alum!”
The original ‘Vande Mataram’ song is written by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee in the 1870s. The first two verses of the poem were adopted as the National Song of India in October.
