Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh), Nov 29 (IANS): A weaver from Varanasi has woven a special silk 'angavastram' for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is scheduled to visit his constituency on Monday.

The weaver, Bachche Lal Maurya, said that he wants Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to gift the 'angavastram' to the Prime Minister during his visit to Varanasi on November 30.

Maurya said, "There are reports that Prime Minister Modi may go to Sarnath during his proposed visit to Varanasi, I started weaving the 'angavastram' with a Buddhist mantra and a leaf of 'Bodhivriksha' especially for him."
