Ahmedabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's much hyped visit to the United States is reflected back home in the elaborate Navratra festivities in Gujarat.

Navratri in Gujarat is about decorative clothing, exquisite jewelery and beautiful body paintings to flaunt at garba venues. This year though, garba enthusiasts want to reflect Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the United States in their tattoos and body paintings.

Garba enthusiasts are getting images Of PM Modi and US President Barack Obama tattooed on their bodies as well, and are ready to flaunt them at garba venues even as the PM begins his US visit.

"I love tattoos and this time I've got a tattoo on the subject of PM Modi's US visit", said Deepa Modi, a garba enthusiast.

Another such enthusiast Shital also had the same thing to do, " do it (tattoo) every year.. This time around, Modi is in the US, so I've got it done."

Apart from getting body paintings done on their backs, arms and waists, the PM's fans are getting messages of Indo-US partnership written on their bodies as well.

Stella Chongtham, another garba enthusiast said that the tattoos show diversity and unity. "I hope the partnership between India and US grows with his visit", said Chongtham.

Body painter and Tattoo artist Jagruti Parmar has been flooded with requests - and she loves painting the theme. "It is in demand. The PM is going to the US and the youth want to show it off on their bodies. They are demanding it and I'm proud of doing it as a tattoo artist."
