A recap of President Obama's day:

He was chief guest at this morning's Republic Day parade, braving the relentless Delhi rain and chill. Michelle Obama also attended, wearing a black coat dress and a red scarf. Highlights of the parade included all-women contingents from the services, a camel-mounted band, tableaux that depicted many of PM Modi's pet projects, the Indian Air Force's fly past, and motorcycle daredevilry from the BSF's stunt riders.

At about 4pm, the Obamas visited President Pranab Mukherjee at Rashtrapati Bhavan for tea. FLOTUS changed into a flowered dress and cropped jacket. The Obamas had tea, shook hands, chatted to other guests and waved to the cameras.

At about 6pm, POTUS made the short journey from the Maurya Sheraton Hotel where he is staying to the Taj Palace next door to meet India's top CEOs with PM Modi
