The caption was placed by PM Modi as: "Visited Advani ji's house to extend birthday wishes."

Before that PM Modi had said in a post on X: "Heartiest greeting to Advani ji on his birthday. This birthday is more special as the leader has been conferred with the Bharat Ratna this year. He is one of the respected leaders of the country who have dedicated their lives for the development of the country. I pray for his long and healthy life."

"Advaniji has always been respected for his intellect and rich insights. I am fortunate to have received his guidance for many years," said PM Modi.
