When two big leaders meet, the exchange of gifts is also very special. Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Russian President Vladimir Putin and gave him some gifts which had a deep reflection of the fragrance of India’s soil and culture. These gifts are not just things but are a symbol of the deep relationship between India and Russia. Symbol of knowledge and peace: Bhagavad Gita. First of all, PM Modi presented the Russian version of Srimad Bhagavad Gita to President Putin. Geeta is that sacred text in which Lord Krishna gave the knowledge of life, duty and soul to Arjun during the Mahabharata war. This book teaches how to keep the mind calm and stay on the right path. Its knowledge still inspires people all over the world. Tea of Assam and workmanship of Bengal. When it comes to tea, there is no answer to the black tea of Assam. The taste and aroma of this tea, which grows on the banks of the Brahmaputra river, is wonderful. It has also received the GI tag in 2007, which proves its specialty. Along with this tea, a beautiful silver tea set made by hand in Murshidabad, West Bengal was also given. This tea set not only showcases the excellent workmanship of Bengal but also shows the importance of tea tradition in both the countries. Silver horse of Maharashtra and chessboard of Agra A silver horse made by hand in Maharashtra was also included in the gift. In both Indian and Russian cultures, the horse is considered a symbol of honor and bravery. The special thing about this horse is that its stance is moving forward, which shows the ever-growing partnership between India and Russia. Apart from this, a hand-carved marble chess set was also given in Agra. It is a fine example of Agra’s stonework and is also a part of the ‘One District One Product’ (ODOP) scheme. Fragrance of Kashmir’s SaffronFinally, the world famous Kashmiri saffron was also a part of the gift. This saffron, which grows in the valleys of Kashmir, is also called ‘Kong’ or ‘Saffron’. Its dark color, strong aroma and excellent taste make it the most special in the world. It not only enhances the taste of food but is also an important part of Kashmir’s culture. Overall, these gifts beautifully represent India’s diversity, art and its deep friendship with Russia.
