G20 delegates experience rich cultural heritage of Rajasthan in Udaipur

The Sherpas were provided traditional Indian jackets, Turbans (Safas), and stoles to further enrich their authentic cultural experience of Rajasthan, reports ANI.

G20 delegates also had the chance to meet the world’s longest turban binder Pawan Vyas in Udaipur, who tied 478.5 metres (nearly half a kilometer) of cloth in 30 minutes without using a single hairpin or glue in 2020, reports the India news agency.

“The delegates are out in traditional Rajasthani attire which is in keeping with our endeavor and as the Prime Minister said to have an impeccable and unique Indian Presidency, so this is that Unique Indian touch that we want to give, everybody should get a feel of India and I think that they feel connected with us and today we had the Mewari cuisine and this is how we want our meetings, to give an Indian flavor and a regional flavor of the place that they are going to visit in India,” Harsh Vardhan Shringla, G20’s India Coordinator, was quoted as saying by ANI.

Further talking about the first formal meeting of the day, Shringla said that all countries said that they will work together in ensuring that the priorities outlined which were global priorities will be fulfilled in every possible way.

“We had the first formal meeting of the G20 Sherpas today that went over the broad priorities of the Indian presidency. All G20 countries including invited countries and international organizations offered their views on the developments. All countries said that they will work together in ensuring that the priorities outlined which were global priorities will be fulfilled in every possible way,” he added.

Following the event at Manek Chowk, a discussion over high tea in the evening – ‘Chai pe Charcha’, was held to foster deeper interpersonal relationships and strengthen ties between G20 member countries.
