Modi and Xi meet in Mamallapuram for second informal summit
Dressed in a veshti, white shirt and an angavastram, Mr. Modi played the perfect host and took Mr. Xi for a guided tour of the famous world heritage sites of Arjuna’s Penance, Krishna’s Butterball, the Pancha Ratha and Shore temple. Mr. Modi and Mr. Xi, assisted by one translator from each side, sat down for around 15 minutes at Pancha Ratha complex, an example of monolithic Indian rock-cut architecture, and engaged in intense talks while sipping coconut water - images reflecting warmth in personal chemistry between the two leaders of two emerging economies. From Pancha Ratha, the two leaders visited the beautifully lit-up Shore temple. Later, the two leaders witnessed a cultural performance on the backdrop of the temple. | Wuhan, Mamallapuram, and beyond | The Hindu Analysis Podcast
