Prime Minister Narendra Modi's selfie at the largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates today is splashed all over local papers.
Here are 5 facts on the PM's headline-making moment:
On Sunday, the PM toured the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, capital of the oil-producing United Arab Emirates.
Prime Minister Modi's two-day visit to Abu Dhabi is the first by an Indian prime minister since Indira Gandhi's trip in 1981.
The PM made no statements to journalists, but took a selfie with the leaders who escorted him to the mosque.
The mosque he toured is the biggest in the UAE. It has the largest hand-woven carpet in the world, where thousands can pray at the same time.
The PM's visit is seen as a clear signal of his government's commitment to protect religious freedom and minorities.
