Days after India's record haul at the Paralympics, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met India's trailblazing Paralympians at his residence.
Wheelchair-bound shooter Avani Lekhara, who won a second successive Paralympic gold in women's 10m air rifle and visually-impaired judoka Kapil Parmar, India's first Paralympic medal-winner in the sport, were among those who were seen posing with the PM.
In a heartwarming moment, PM Modi sat down on the floor to graciously accept a cap from javelin thrower Navdeep Singh during their interaction.
India gave its best-ever performance in the Paralympic Games by winning 29 medals, including an unprecedented seven gold, nine silver and 13 bronze medals.
