Bengaluru: A kite artist flew a special 15-feet long kite to welcome the US President Donald Trump, ahead of his maiden visit to the country.
VK Rao, an international kite artist from Karnataka, crafted the special kite, which included the photographs of both Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with the messages ‘Namaste Trump’ and ‘Welcome to India’.
“We have created and flown this special kite to welcome the US President. The kite is 15 feet long,”
VK Rao was quoted speaking to ANI.
Earlier, an Amritsar-based kite maker in Punjab had designed special kites to welcome Trump.
Trump is scheduled to visit Modi’s home state Gujarat on February 24.
He will visit the famous Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad and take part in a roadshow with Modi. After that, the two leaders will inaugurate a new cricket stadium in Motera and address a gathering there, with an expected audience of over one lakh people.
While it was earlier speculated that the programme would be called ‘Kem Chho Trump’, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation on Sunday tweeted a series of posters confirming that the event is now christened ‘Namaste Trump’, apparently to give it a pan-India appeal.
