After the state dinner, Grammy-winning musician Joshua Bell will give his special performance. "Bell's performance will be followed by Pen Masala – a South Asian Acapella group from the University of Pennsylvania that will bring glimpses of my hometown to the White House with songs inspired by the voice of India," Biden said.

Pm Modi arrived in Washington on Wednesday after leading a grand yoga session at the UN headquarters in New York. Apart from the state dinner here, he will also attend a series of meetings with industry leaders in Washington.
