Mahabalipuram: Not many Presidents and Prime Ministers are fortunate enough to have another country's Prime Minister to have as a tourist guide! Modi received Xi near Arjuna's Penance and took him inside the rock-cut temple and was seen explaining the features to the Chinese leader. Modi, like a professional guide, was seen explaining to Xi the various images carved on the huge rock. Modi and Xi then walked over to Krishna's Butter Ball - a gigantic boulder weighing about 250 tons seated on a short incline. From the Five Rathas, the two leaders drove to Shore Temple located close to the sea built during 700-728 AD.
