Field Marshal  is a five–star general officer rank and
the highest attainable rank in the Indian Army. Field
Marshal is ranked immediately above general, but not
exercised in the regular army structure. It is a largely
ceremonial or wartime rank, having been awarded
only twice. A field marshal's insignia consists of the 
national emblem over a crossed baton and sabre in a
lotus blossom wreath.
Sam Manekshaw was the first field marshal of India,
and was conferred the rank on 1 January 1973. The
second was Kodandera M. Cariappa, who was
conferred the rank on 15 January 1986.
