US President Donald Trump landed at Ahmedabad Airport on Monday as part of his first official visit to India, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi received him with a warm hug.
The president was accompanied by first lady Melania Trump, who also shared a warm handshake with Modi. She was looking ethereal in an all-white jumpsuit with a cotton belt tied around her waist.

Thousands were seen gathering along the walkaways of the road for the president as his entourage moved towards the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad amidst tight security. During their visit to Sabarmati, both the US President and first lady were offered gifts: hand made scarves that they graciously wrapped around their necks.
