Spouses of various world leaders attending the G20 Summit in New Delhi were treated to a special lunch at Jaipur House on Saturday, following which they were given a guided tour of an exhibition of culturally-rich artefacts at NGMA, official sources said.

The group was served millet-based dishes and they also sampled some street food, a source said.
