Varanasi, Oct 25 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday witnessed the spectacular ‘Wings Over Ganga’ air show at Varanasi’s Namo Ghat, organised to mark the 94th foundation day of the Indian Air Force.

The air show featured around 100 fighter jets, helicopters, and other aircraft of the Indian Air Force, showcasing their strength, maneuverability, and balance. Three Surya Kiran aircraft in the "Kashi" formation, flying in a "V" shape, symbolizing victory, cast a splash of the tricolor over the Ganges.
In the "Kedar" formation, Rafale aircraft performed low-altitude aerobatic maneuvers, while a Sukhoi-30 MKI aircraft, under the callsign "Hanuman," performed an aerial display. The various formations and the thrilling displays of the aircraft enthralled the spectators.
During the air show, a large number of people were present at Namo Ghat and at other Ganga ghats in Kashi, and on the sand across the Ganges. The crowds were particularly enthusiastic to have the Prime Minister among them. As soon as he arrived at the venue, the atmosphere reverberated with chants of "Har Har Mahadev" and "Bharat Mata Ki Jai." The Prime Minister also accepted the greetings of the people.
