President Patil gets a taste of British royalty

India's head of state Pratibha Patil was greeted with a generous helping of British pageantry as she began her three-day state visit on Tuesday. This is the first Indian state visit since 1990. The queen last visited India in 1997. Patil, the first Indian woman to be elected to the ceremonial role, was taken in a state carriage procession to the Queen's Windsor Castle, where she will stay during the trip and where she was treated to a Guard of Honour. We bring you the images of her visit.
