UK PM Rishi Sunak visits Akshardham temple in Delhi

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who is on a visit to India to attend the G20 Summit, on Sunday morning visited the famous Akshardham temple here, amid tight security.

Sunak, who was accompanied by his wife Akshata Murthy, performed 'puja' during his visit to the temple.

The British Prime Minister arrived in India on Friday afternoon. On the first day, he held a bilateral meeting with Prime MInister Narendra Modi at his official residence here.

On Saturday, Sunak attended the G20 Summit here at the Bharat Mandapam and also attended the dinner hosted by President Droupadi Murmu.

On Sunday morning, he was at the Rajghat here along with other dignitaries to pay homage to Mahatma Gandhi.

The G20 Summit is being attended by more than 30 heads of state and top officials from the European Union, invited guest countries, and 14 heads of international organisations.

The theme of this year's G20 Summit, which is taking place under India's presidency, is "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam," or "One Earth · One Family · One Future," - which is drawn from the ancient Sanskrit text of the Maha Upanishad. Essentially, the theme affirms the value of all life-human, animal, plant, and microorganism-and their interconnectedness on the planet Earth and in the wider universe.
