Varanasi, Mar 12: French President Emmanuel Macron, who is on a four-day visit to India, arrived in Varanasi on Monday, where he was received by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

A motorboat called the "Kailasha" was readied for the visiting French leader to enjoy the famous river tour along the ghats of the ancient city, which is also PM Modi's parliamentary constituency.

Both the leaders also visited the Assi ghat, where they took a boat ride from Assi to Dashashwamedh ghat.

The two leaders are also scheduled to have a private meeting over lunch, following which PM Modi will head to the Manduadih railway station, from where he will flag off the Varanasi-Patna intercity train.

The French president will stay at the Taj hotel for a few hours before flying back to Delhi by his special plane.
