Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in New York Friday to a tumultuous welcome by the Indian American community as diaspora members chanted "Modi, Modi" and held placards in his welcome.
Modi, who arrived on a five-day visit to the US, was attired nattily in a dark maroon bandh-gala suit.
A large group of Indian diaspora were gathered near the New York hotel where he is to stay, chanting his name lustily, as Modi waved to them smiling all the while.
During his visit, he will address the 69th session of the United Nations and hold bilateral talks with US president Barack Obama in Washington. He will also address the Indian community in New York's Madison Square Garden, an event that will be telecast live on Times Square.
