In the 11 seconds viral clip, the tableau can be seen introduced with the call to Azaan being played in the background. However, on viewing the Republic Day parade we found that soon after that the sound of prayers from other places of worship was also played.

Delhi's tableau showcased the Shahjahanabad redevelopment plan at the Republic Day celebrations at Rajpath which featured ongoing redevelopment of Chandni Chowk in Shahjahanabad.
"The tableau itself will seek to send a message of religious and cultural harmony – portraying the pedestrianised route along two temples, a gurdwara, a church and a mosque located along the 1.3 km to 1.5 km-long-route being redeveloped in Chandni Chowk – but there is another message," reported The Hindu on January 5, 2021, quoting a government official on Delhi's tableau.
The tableau also displayed the hustle-bustle of the market street enlivened with cycles, rickshaws, shoppers etc, interspersed with the sound of prayers from diverse places of worship reported ANI.
