French President Emmanuel Macron's Varanasi visit comes a day after he visited Taj Mahal. Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) officials were quoted as saying by the news agency IANS that Mr Macron spent over an hour, evincing keen interest in the exquisite inlay work of the 17th century monument. He visited the historical monument with his wife. He shared the pictures on Twitter. 

Le Taj Mahal appartient à l'Inde et à son histoire, histoire d'amour au cœur du 17ᵉ siècle. Il dit la part des Moghols et de l'islam, mais il témoigne aussi de la part d'universel qui a fait l'Inde et continue à le faire.
Merci pour cette leçon de bonté, d'amour et d'universel. pic.twitter.com/jqoDJBlMQY
