Prime Minister Narendra Modi presented President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden with gifts that celebrate India`s vibrant cultural heritage. President Biden received a unique antique silver train model, hand-engraved with "Delhi-Delaware" on the main carriage. First Lady Jill Biden was given a Pashmina shawl elegantly presented in a beautifully designed Papier Mache box. The vintage silver train model is particularly special, crafted by skilled artisans from Maharashtra, known for its esteemed tradition in silver artistry. Composed of 92.5% silver, this model exemplifies the height of Indian metalworking, showcasing intricate details created through traditional techniques such as engraving, repousse (hammering from the back to form raised designs), and delicate filigree work.
