Gifts from Assam and West Bengal -- two poll-bound states --- from Narendra Modi to Russian Prez Putin

Gifts given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Dec 5, 2025


* Fine Assam Black Tea, grown in the fertile Brahmaputra plains, is prized for its robust malty flavour, bright liquor, and traditional processing using the assamica variety. 


Recognised with a GI tag in 2007, it represents a rich heritage shaped by land, climate, and craft. Beyond its cultural legacy, it is also valued for potential health benefits, making each cup both comforting and wholesome.






Putin was also given -- Ornate silver tea set. 


The ornate Murshidabad silver tea set, (from West Bengal) is crafted with intricate engravings, reflects the rich artistry of West Bengal and the deep cultural importance of tea in both India and Russia. 


In both societies, tea is a symbol of warmth, connection, and shared stories. Gifted with affection, the set celebrates the enduring India–Russia friendship and the timeless ritual of tea.
