CM Yogi Adityanath's Grand Welcome
Upon landing in Agra on April 23rd, following their trip from Jaipur, the family was welcomed with floor-to-ceiling grins by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. He greeted them with a bouquet, also sharing a warm welcome on X, hailing Uttar Pradesh as the "sacred heartland of India, renowned for its eternal devotion, vibrant culture, and spiritual legacy."
Traipsing their way to the Taj Mahal by car from the airport, extensive security was paramount, with U.S. personnel having scouted the 12-km track in advance. The route was surged with a zero-traffic zone during their journey.
