Chinese first lady Peng Liyuan, a noted singer and one of the most powerful ladies in the world, seemed to enjoy the colourful extravaganza, and during a folk performance was seen tapping to the tabla beats.
The scintillating folk dance performances included Mer Rass of the Mer community of Gujarat's Porbandar region, and a tribal pyramid by artistes from Dang, a tribal region in south Gujarat.
Xi and his wife were escorted to the traditional charpai by Modi. Both Xi and Peng enquired about the linen design, said sources.
Modi walked up to the river bank where he briefed the Chinese president about the history of the river.
