Modi, on his 64th birthday today, will welcome Xi, who is set to begin his three-day sojourn to India from Ahmedabad, the commercial capital of Gujarat state, this afternoon.
In a first, Modi will receive the Chinese President after which the two sides are to ink some agreements related to the region.
A red carpet welcome and Gujarati culture and cuisine await the Chinese President during his six-hour visit to the state.
According to Modi, visiting heads of states should travel beyond New Delhi and see smaller towns to understand the country's diversity better.
This is the first home visit of Modi after becoming prime minister. Modi became prime minister in May this year after he led the Bharatiya Janata Party to a stunning victory in the General Elections.
