President Droupadi Murmu on Saturday offered 'dahi-cheeni' (curd and sugar), as it is considered auspicious, to Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman ahead of presenting her eighth Union Budget.

This customary gesture for good luck was done during the finance minister's visit to President Murmu at Rashtrapti Bhavan.

Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary was also present on the occasion.

The finance minister was seen discussing the contours of the Budget proposals with the President.

Subsequently, the finance minister arrived in Parliament, from where she will leave for the Cabinet meeting where the Budget will be ratified prior to its presentation in Parliament.
