Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday presented a large portrait of the Taj Mahal to US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, as the couple departed from Agra for New Delhi for the final and main leg of their two-day visit. The portrait had a picture of the couple posed at Diana's bench with the Taj Mahal in the background.

The President's family, including daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner, visited the majestic 17th-century monument Monday evening. They had arrived in the city after attending a mega event in Ahmedabad's Motera Stadium and visiting Sabarmati Ashram earlier in the day.
