Prime Minister Narendra Modi sought his mother's blessings at her home here on his 64th birthday on Wednesday.
He reportedly also received calls from his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe, President Pranab Mukherjee, who wished him on the occasion. Vice President Hamid Ansari also wished him.
Dressed in a half sleeve saffron-coloured kurta and a hand woven scarf; Modi came to his mother Hira Baa's residence alone in his BMW car without any security.
The huge crowd that had gathered outside the residence cheered Prime Minister Modi, saying: "Happy birthday Narendrabhai."
The Prime Minister's mother put both of her hands on Modi's head and blessed him as he bent down to touch her feet.
Gujarati sweets - Churma ke Laddoo, Lapsi and Kansar - were offered by his mother to the prime minister.
The Prime Minister spent about 25 minutes at his mother's residence.
