Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is currently on the first leg of his three-nation, nine-day tour in Paris, has gifted French President Francois Hollande a painting titled 'Tree of Life'.
The official twitter account of the Prime Minister's Office shared details about the painting via a series of tweets.
"During the France visit, PM @narendramodi presented President @fhollande a painting titled 'Tree of Life.' @Elysee"
"The painting, 'Tree of Life', reflects traditional societal respect for nature in India."
"With multiple roots and branches like a banyan tree, it symbolises tree's benevolence, fruit, seeds, shelter, healing, procreation (Cont)."
"and regeneration faculties that sustain life and clean the environment."
Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to travel to Germany later today after a successful visit of France. He will later fly to Canada for the final leg of his tour.
