A box of Darjeeling tea, a tie, a kurta, a papier-mâché Ashokan pillar artefact, and honey from Jammu and Kashmir were among the things that US vice-president JD Vance and his family bought from the Central Cottage Industries Emporium in Delhi on Monday, officials at the Emporium said.
NEW DELHI:
In all, the second family of the US bought items worth ₹50,000 from the premier outlet, the officials added.
Vance, his wife Usha Vance, and their three children Ewan, Vivek and Mirabel landed at Palam airport at 9.30am. Then, the family made their way to the Akshardham temple in Delhi where they posed for photos.
At the Akshardham temple — which is closed to the public every Monday but was open for the visit — the Vance family spent about 55 minutes, HT has learnt.
The temple management wrote on Instagram that the Swaminarayan Akshardham was the first stop of Vance's maiden official visit to India.
