44-year-old Fadnavis is the first Chief Minister to hail from the state's second capital.
He was elected to the Legislative Assembly from Nagpur south-west constituency in last month's elections, and sworn in as the Chief Minister on Friday.
On his arrival at Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport today, Mayor Pravin Datke officially welcomed him in the presence of thousands of BJP workers.

He briefly stopped on the way to offer flowers at the statue of RSS founder Keshav Baliram Hedgewar.
