NewsMobile investigated the picture in question and found it to be AI-generated and digitally fabricated.
A Reverse Image Search, along with relevant keyword checks, did not yield any credible news reports, authentic visuals, or official social media posts corroborating the claim. Neither the Prime Minister nor the Prime Minister’s Office has shared such a photograph on verified platforms, and no reputable media organisation has reported any such event.
A closer examination of the image reveals several inconsistencies typically associated with AI-generated content — including uneven lighting, unnatural facial blending, distorted hand structures, disproportionate body alignment, and an overly smooth, artificial-looking background.
Further verification using AI detection tools, including Sightengine and Hive Moderation, flagged the image as AI-generated with a high probability score, confirming that the viral photo is not authentic.
In conclusion, the image purportedly showing PM Modi offering prayers at a river bank is AI-generated and digitally fabricated.
