NEW DELHI: In an unusual meet-up, PM Narendra Modi and UP CM Yogi Adityanath's sisters saw each other for the first time at a temple in Uttarakhand's Garhwal on Friday. PM Modi’s sister Vasanthi Ben was on her way to Neelkanth Mahadev temple in Pauri Garhwal accompanied by her husband. The couple later travelled to the Parvati temple in Kothari village where they jumped into Yogi Adityanath's sister Shashi Devi by chance.

The video of the two sharing embraces, smiles and little talks are viral across the internet. Many netizens eulogized the two sisters for embracing true Indian values of conviviality.

BJP leader Ajay Nanda, sharing the video, wrote, "PM Modi's sister Basantiben and CM Yogi's sister Shashi meeting exemplifies the essence of simplicity, Indian culture, and tradition."
