Photos: US first lady Melania Trump's date with Delhi school that 'inspired' her

US first lady Melania Trump visited on Tuesday a government school in New Delhi that teaches a special "happiness curriculum", rooted in mindfulness practices.

Sporting a traditional red 'tilak' dot on her forehead and wearing a garland of marigolds, Melania watched children at the school play, do yoga, and perform a bhangra dance.

"I cannot think of a better way for all of us to start our day than this," the First Lady said after witnessing the curriculum. She said that she was "inspired" by the happiness curriculum.

Melania advised students to be "good to each other" through their life and thanked the teachers for inculcating good values in them.

The "happiness curriculum" was launched by the left-leaning Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in 2018 as a way to foster social skills by having children engage in mindfulness practices, storytelling and drawing, the party said on its web site.
