Elanchezian has also carved an image of the iconic Taj Mahal in the background.

"I am happy that in his two-day visit Trump will get to know about our country's heritage and culture. It took me nearly two hours to carve out the images of Trump and Modi with the Taj Mahal in the background," Elanchezian told ANI.
