The Madhya Pradesh tableau at the Republic Day Parade 2025 in New Delhi will be centered on the theme "Cheetah: The Pride of India." The tableau will showcase a glimpse of the historic reintroduction of cheetahs in Madhya Pradesh. With the success of the cheetah project, Madhya Pradesh is now not only the "Tiger State" but also the "Cheetah State."
Tableau Describes Project Cheetah Reintroduction
The Kuno National Park, located along the banks of the Kuno River in Madhya Pradesh's Sheopur district, has become a new home for cheetahs in the country. The sanctuary provides an appropriate diet and natural habitat for the big cats. As a result of the successful reintroduction project, a total of 24 cheetahs, including adults and cubs, are now living in the Kuno Sanctuary.
The presented tableau showcases the successful reintroduction of cheetahs in India. At the forefront, it depicts a pair of adult cheetahs from Kuno National Park along with the cubs born in Kuno.
The central part of the tableau features the flowing Kuno River surrounded by the forest cover and natural habitat of the national park, portraying wildlife such as deer, monkeys, birds, and cheetahs thriving in harmony. This reflects Kuno Sanctuary as a model for biodiversity with the increasing number of cheetahs.
Cheetah Mitras are seen training local residents
In the rear section of the central part, under a tree, "Cheetah Mitras" (Cheetah Friends) are seen training local residents about cheetah conservation. The final section of the tableau depicts forest personnel monitoring cheetahs from a watchtower, actively contributing to the success of the cheetah project.
On both sides of the tableau, LED panels display a film focused on cheetahs in Kuno National Park. Additionally, dance troupes from Sheopur district are seen performing the traditional "Lahangi" dance of the Sahariya tribe.
