India-Pakistan border entertainment
... So popular is this event that grandstands have been specially constructed to accommodate the patriotic throngs.
Foreigners are allowed to sit at the front stalls (behind the VIP area, which is closest to the border). Prior to the ceremony, the stony-faced soldiers mill about with the air of self-conscious debutantes and the real action is that of the spectators, some parading the Indian flag.
