Soon after his arrival in Fiji capital Suva on Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi used Instagram to share a scenic view of the Pacific Ocean.
"Bula from Fiji! On the shores of the Pacific Ocean, among wonderful people," Prime Minister Modi said in his message that accompanied the photograph.
In Fijian, the term Bula, pronounced "boo-lah", literally means "life", but has several meanings.
When used as a greeting, it wishes people good health.
Prime Minister Modi made his debut on Instagram last week, with a photo of Myanmar, where he had gone to attend the ASEAN Summit.
His second Instagram photograph was clicked with Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott in Canberra, showing the two playing with toddlers at the Parliament creche.
"PM Abbott and I turned photographers!" the caption then read.
Over 5,000 followers have expressed their 'like' for the Pacific Ocean photograph so far, while about 30,000 followers "liked" his first photo in Myanmar.
The social media savvy Indian Prime Minister already has 1,23,464 followers on Instagram, a photo and video sharing site, and close to eight million followers on Twitter, where he has over 6,000 posts since joining it in January 2009.
