New Delhi | As part of his diplomatic outreach, Prime Minister Narendra Modi presented a handcrafted silver candle stand to Andrej Plenković, the Prime Minister of Croatia, symbolizing India’s rich tradition of craftsmanship and cultural diplomacy.

The intricately designed candle stand, sourced from Rajasthan, reflects the centuries-old metalworking heritage of the region. Crafted by skilled artisans, the piece features elaborate floral and geometric patterns etched using traditional engraving techniques passed down through generations. Its graceful contours and intricate detailing give it an air of royalty and timeless elegance.

Rajasthan, especially the cities of Jaipur and Udaipur, has long been celebrated for its silver artistry, often inspired by the majestic architecture of palaces, temples, and royal courts. These designs reflect a deep connection between art and daily life in Indian culture.
