Amid cheers and slogans of 'Bharat Mata ki Jai', a huge crowd of people dressed in Indian attire greeted Prime Minister Modi with folded hands at the premises of the hotel where the prime minister was staying. He was greeted by the sound of rhythmic drumming and enthusiastic cheers, as a huge crowd of people -- many dressed in traditional Indian attire and turbans -- gathered to bid him adieu before he left for India.

PM Modi not only greeted them and shook hands with the people gather for him, but he also joined in the festivities and played the drums for a few beats alongside the drummers, who cheered him on.

Among the group were several children and PM Modi reached out to interact with them, shaking hands and giving hi-fives to some older kids. He was also seen holding one cheerful toddler.

During PM Modi's visit to Glasgow for the UN COP26 Summit, he announced India's commitments to climate action, including ambitious targets to attain net-zero emissions by 2070 as well as to meet 50 per cent of the country's energy requirements through renewable energy by 2030.

He held several bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the COP26 Summit with his counterparts from the UK, Israel, Nepal, Italy, and France, among others, during his stay.
