“At Home” Reception at Rashtrapati Bhavan: Expected Highlights

On national occasions like Independence Day, the President traditionally hosts an “At Home” reception at Rashtrapati Bhavan. These are ceremonial gatherings where the President entertains prominent dignitaries, distinguished citizens, and special invitees. Attendees typically include the Prime Minister, Vice President, Chief Justice of India, Union Ministers, Members of Parliament, and occasionally international guests.(Lokmat Times, News On Air, The Times of India)

• For example, on Independence Day 2024, President Droupadi Murmu hosted such a reception attended by PM Narendra Modi, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, the Chief Justice, senior ministers, and other distinguished individuals.(News On Air, Lokmat Times)
• Similarly, during the Republic Day 2025 celebrations, she welcomed a wide array of dignitaries and eminent contributors, including government officials and program beneficiaries.(Amar Ujala, NewKerala.com)

Given these established protocols, it’s likely that the August 15, 2025 “At Home” event followed a similar format—with guest lists composed of top political leaders, high-ranking judicial figures, bureaucrats, and notable citizens from various fields.
