Mohan Bhagwat, the chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), arrived in the United States on Tuesday to begin a scheduled tour. The visit is part of a broader global outreach initiative organized by the RSS to commemorate the group's upcoming centenary year.

As part of the promotional efforts surrounding his arrival, images of Bhagwat were displayed on a prominent digital billboard in Times Square, New York City. The visit is expected to involve various engagements with the Indian diaspora and other stakeholders as the organization seeks to expand its international profile. While the visit is framed by the organization as a milestone for its global outreach, the RSS remains a subject of intense debate in India due to its ideological roots and its relationship with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The current reporting focuses on the logistics of the visit and the visibility of the campaign in major American public spaces.
