Putin's Banquet Features Rare Gucchi Mushrooms

President Vladimir Putin visited India for an important meeting.

At a big dinner at Rashtrapati Bhavan, a special dish called gucchi doon chetin was served.

This dish has gucchi mushrooms, which are very rare and expensive.

They grow only in certain places in the Himalayas and are hard to find.

People love them because they taste really good and can be used in many dishes.

The mushrooms cost a lot, around ₹35,000 to ₹40,000 per kilogram, because they are rare and special.

The dinner had many other delicious foods from different parts of India.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also gave Putin some special gifts, like Kashmiri saffron and a Pashmina shawl, to show friendship and respect.

These gifts are part of a long tradition of using special items from Kashmir to make people feel welcome and to show off India's rich culture.
