PM Modi US visit LIVE updates | What all did PM Modi gift the Bidens?

- A lab-grown 7.5-carat green diamond: The solitaire reflects the chemical and optical properties of an earth-mined diamond but is also eco-friendly as eco-diversified resources like solar and wind power were used in its making. The diamond is a "beacon of responsible luxury" and symbolises 75 years of freedom and sustainable international relations.

- A Kashimir papier mâché box: The green diamond is housed in a Kalamdani, which is a Kashmiri style of papier mâché box. It involves sakthsazior i.e. the meticulous preparation of paper pulp, and naqqashi, where skilled artisans paint elaborate designs.

- A sandalwood box handcrafted in Jaipur: The sandalwood used to make the box was sourced from Mysore, Karnataka, and has intricately carved flora and fauna patterns. It contains an idol of Lord Ganesh, a diya (oil lamp), a copper plate and silver boxes that contain Das Danam or 10 donations

- A first edition copy of "The Ten Principal Upanishads": A 1937 English translation by WB Yeats of Shree Purohit Swami's book was given by Modi to Biden. It was published by M/s Faber and Faber Ltd of London and printed at the University Press Glasgow. The translation and collaboration between the two authors occurred throughout the 1930s and it was one of the final works of Yeats.
