President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump threw handfuls of petals Tuesday at a memorial for Mahatma Gandhi.

The president and the first lady visited Raj Ghat, the memorial for Gandhi, in Delhi, India.

The dramatic moment of the president throwing petals in India was captured by news photographers traveling with the president.

Flowers are an important symbol in Indian culture, as the richly colored petals are frequently thrown on important occasions.
