Prime Minister Narendra Modi gifted a lab-grown 7.5-carat green diamond to United States First Lady Dr Jill Biden.
The diamond reflects earth-mined diamonds' chemical and optical properties.
It is also eco-friendly, as eco-diversified resources like solar and wind power were used in its making.
Modi also gifted a copy of the first edition print of the book, The Ten Principal Upanishads, published by Faber and Faber Ltd of London and printed at the University Press Glasgow to President Joe Biden.
The PM also presented a special sandalwood box to President Biden that has been handcrafted by a master craftsman from Jaipur. The sandalwood sourced from Mysore has intricately carved flora and fauna patterns.
The box contains the idol of Ganesha. The idol has been handcrafted by a family of fifth-generation silversmiths from Kolkata.
The box also contains a diya. This silver diya has also been handcrafted by artisans from the family of fifth-generation silversmiths in Kolkata. -- ANI
