JD Vance in Akshardham Temple
New Delhi: US Vice President JD Vance is currently undertaking a four-day visit to India. On Monday, he visited the Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple in New Delhi, accompanied by his wife, Usha, and their three children. This trip marks his first official engagement in India since assuming the role of Vice President.
According to the Dynamite News correspondent, after landing at Delhi airport, he reached this world famous temple directly. During the temple tour, JD Vance and his family saw Indian art, traditional Hindu architecture and cultural heritage closely.
The temple's intricately carved pillars, grand domes and artistic ceilings impressed him deeply. Vance's visit became a symbol of further strengthening the cultural and spiritual ties between India and the US.
Temple officials described his visit as an example of mutual respect and shared values between the two countries.
The BAPS organisation, which also operates cultural sites in Robbinsville, USA and Abu Dhabi, UAE, left no stone unturned to make the hospitality of the Vice President and his family memorable.
This visit not only underlines the global identity of the temple, but also showcases India's cultural richness and hospitality on the world stage. After visiting the Akshardham temple, JD Vance said, "Thank you for welcoming me with so much love and respect.
Building this temple with such beauty and precision shows the specialty of India.
My children liked it very much." Finally, impressed by the temple's message of peace and unity, he wrote in the guestbook praising India's hospitality and the beauty of the temple.
After visiting the Akshardham Temple, JD Vance and his family then went to the Central Cottage Industries Emporium in Delhi's Janpath. It sells Indian handicraft products.
On Tuesday at 9 a.m., Vance will visit the Amer Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. He will then deliver a public address on US-India relations at the Rajasthan International Center (RIC) at 3 p.m.
His wife Usha, their children, and senior U.S. administration officials will join him.
