PM Narendra Modi Presents ‘Ganga Jal’ From ‘Mahakumbh’ To Tulsi Gabbard

Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard in Delhi on Monday and presented her with water from the Ganga, collected during the Maha Kumbh. In a post on X, PM Modi said he was glad to welcome Gabbard to India and said both the US and India were committed to combating terrorism and enhancing maritime and cybersecurity cooperation. Talking about Maha Kumbh, PM Modi told Gabbard that the religious gathering, which concluded on February 26, drew over 660 million people to the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj, making it the largest human gathering in the world. In return, Gabbard gifted Tulsi Mala to PM Modi. The Tulsi Mala, also called Tulsi beads or a Tulsi rosary, carries deep significance in Hinduism, particularly for followers of Lord Krishna.
