PM Modi also gifted Kamala Harris a Gulabi Meenakari chess set. The craft of Gulabi Meenakari is closely associated with Kashi, one of the oldest cities in the world. It is also the constituency of PM Modi.

Each piece on this particular chess set is remarkably handcrafted. The bright colours reflect the vibrancy of Kashi.
