Macron’s Schedule in India
Macron, as reported by our sources at Reader Wall, had been the guest of honour at Delhi’s Kartavya Path where the 75th Republic Day celebrations were being held. His visit to the ancient Sufi shrine took place later in the evening, where he remained immersed for over half an hour, absorbing the atmospheric sanctity of the place.
The pertinent shrine functions as the mausoleum for the renowned Sufi, Nizamuddin Auliya, and his loyal disciple, Amir Khusrau, further accentuating its significance.
