A $20,000 diamond presented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to United States' First Lady Jill Biden was the most expensive gift given by any world leader to the Biden family in 2023, the US State Department has said here.

The 7.5 carat eco-friendly, lab-grown diamond was gifted by Modi in June 2023 at a private dinner at the White House during his state visit on an invitation by President Joe Biden.

According to the exchange rate then, the diamond's cost was about ₹16 lakh.

Modi gifted Biden a 'Carved Sandalwood Box,' a book titled The Ten Principal Upanishads, a statue, and an oil lamp, valued together at an estimated USD 6,232.00.
