The eldest son of Donald Trump has already advertised himself prior to his visit.

Full-page advertisements in Indian newspapers on Monday invited prospective investors to buy into the Trump Organisation&#39;s project in Gurugram to join Donald Trump Jr at a dinner later this week.

&quot;Trump has arrived. Have you?&quot; read the advertisement, inviting buyers to book their apartments in Trump Towers by Wednesday &quot;for a conversation and dinner&quot; with Trump Jr on Friday. An advertisement in newspapers on Sunday read, &quot;Trump is here. Are you invited?&quot;

Trump Jr&nbsp;will also deliver his maiden speech in India where he will speak on &quot;Reshaping Indo-Pacific Ties: The New Era of Cooperation&quot; at a global business summit on Friday.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who will also be present, will speak at the summit on the topic of &quot;Preparing India for the Future&quot;.

In the US, some experts have pointed out the conflict of interests during Donald Trump Jr&#39;s India visit.

&quot;The planned speech by Trump Jr&nbsp;has renewed conflict of interest concerns, with some questioning why the US President&#39;s son will be lecturing on foreign policy while simultaneously trying to hawk his family business&#39;s lavish new condominiums,&quot; The Washington Post reported.

&quot;News that the Trump Organisation would be offering buyers in the Trump Tower the chance to meet the president&#39;s son sparked criticism of potential conflict of interest, and the fact that Trump Jr&nbsp;will be giving a foreign policy speech while on a private business trip complicates the matter further&quot;, The Washington Post quoted ethics expert as saying.

Trump Jr&nbsp;will also visit Kolkata, where the construction of a project with 137 luxury units will begin soon.

Talking about his trip earlier this month, Trump Jr&nbsp;said, &quot;India is such an incredible country and our brand has enjoyed tremendous success in the region for many years. This trip is a celebration of all we have achieved, including the launch of the Trump developments in Kolkata and Delhi which have been underway for many months.&quot;

According to business partners in India, many units in the Trump Towers are selling about 30 percent per square foot higher than the current market rates. Trump Jr.&#39;s visit to India is expected to reinforce the trend.

India is Trump Organisation&#39;s biggest international market, with four real estate projects underway in Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata, and Gurugram.

Trump Jr&#39;s visit to India comes after his sister, Ivanka, visited Hyderabad in November last year to attend the Global Entrepreneurship Summit&nbsp;(GES).

Ivanka, who posed for shutterbugs there, was taken on a guided tour of the fort and was accompanied by India&#39;s Ambassador to the United States, Navtej Sarna, and others.

An elated Ivanka, who was here to attend the <a href="http://www.wionews.com/videos/pm-modi-meets-ivanka-trump-at-ges-in-hyderabad-7014" target="_blank">Global Entrepreneurship Summit</a>, said the visit to the fort was a &quot;great way&quot; to conclude the trip.

&quot;It feels amazing to be here at Golconda Fort. It is an unbelievable end to a fantastic two days. The conference and summit were phenomenal. Prime Minister Modi and the cabinet members who were with him were incredibly warm and gracious. Was overall a very special experience,&quot; she said.

Earlier in the day, President Trump&#39;s daughter had said technology held immense potential in the present scenario to help women entrepreneurs grow in both - their personal and professional lives.

&quot;Technology offers a tremendous opportunity to <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/ivanka-trump-in-india-mum-about-working-conditions-of-employees-25249" target="_blank">women entrepreneurs</a>, and we are seeing that in terms of the explosive global and domestic growth,&quot; Ivanka Trump said while addressing the plenary session on the topic &#39;We Can Do It! Innovations in Workforce Development and Skills Training&#39; at the 8th edition of the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES), here.

On a related note, Golconda, derived from Gol konda (&quot;Round shaped hill&quot;), or Golla konda, (Shepherds Hill) is a citadel and fort in southern India and was the capital of the Qutb Shahi dynasty (c.1518-1687). It is situated 11 kilometres west of Hyderabad, and is also a tehsil of Hyderabad district.

Golkonda Fort was first built by the Kakatiya dynasty as part of their western defenses along the lines of the Kondapalli Fort. The city and the fortress were built on a granite hill that is 120 meters (480 ft) high, surrounded by massive battlements. The fort was rebuilt and strengthened by Rani Rudrama Devi and her successor Prataparudra.

Later, the fort came under the control of the Musunuri Nayaks, who defeated the Tughlaqi army occupying Warangal. It was ceded by the Musunuri Kapaya Naidu to the Bahmani Sultanate as part of a treaty in 1364.

During the reign of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, the mud fort was expanded by the first three Qutb Shahi sultans into the present structure, a massive fortification of granite extending around 5 km in circumference. It remained the capital of the Qutb Shahi dynasty until 1590 when the capital was shifted to Hyderabad. The Qutb Shahis expanded the fort, whose 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) outer wall enclosed the city.

The fort finally fell into ruin in 1687, after an eight year long siege leading to its fall at the hands of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.

The region is known for the mines that have produced some of the world&#39;s most famous gems, including the Koh-i-Noor, the Hope Diamond, Nassak Diamond and the Noor-ul-Ain.

US President Donald Trump`s daughter Ivanka Trump is set to get a&nbsp;royal treatment at Taj Falaknuma, the palace hotel where Prime Minister Narendra Modi is hosting a dinner for her and other delegates of Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) on November 28.

A possible ride on the regal horse-drawn carriage from the main gate to the palace atop the hill, a rose petal shower, a gala dinner on the famed 101-seater dining table with mouth-watering delicacies on the menu and of course a guided tour to the grand palace await Ivanka.

While she will be staying at Westin Hotel near the GES venue in Hitec City, Nizam`s suite, the costliest among all suites at Falaknuma, has been booked for her in case she wants to stay for a couple of hours, sources told IANS.

Nizam`s suite, which used to be the private suite of the ruler of Hyderabad State, costs a whopping Rs5 lakh to Rs8 lakh a night, depending on the season.

Ivanka will join the select list of VVIP guests to visit Falaknuma, arguably the most beautiful among over a dozen palaces in the city of pearls.

While Czar Nicholas II (when the heir to the Russian throne), King George V and Queen Mary and royalty from different parts of the world visited Falaknuma as the guests of Nizam, Ivanka will be the guest of the Indian government.

The advisor to White House is also the first high-profile foreign dignitary visiting the palace after it was converted into a star hotel a decade ago.

It`s still not clear if Ivanka will take a buggy (horse-drawn carriage) of Nizam era to reach the palace from the main gate.

For all the guests, vehicles are allowed only up to the main gate and from there are ferried either by horse-drawn carriages or battery-operated cars. Sources said exception, however, could be made for VVIPs on security grounds.

On entering the palace and ascending the grand staircase, the guests are welcomed with a shower of rose petals. Elaborate arrangements have been made to accord to a memorable welcome to Ivanka.

Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, some key members of US delegation, selected politicians and industrialists will join Ivanka and Modi on a 101-seater dining table, on which the Nizam used to dine with his guests.

The dinner for other delegates has been arranged in the gardens in the palace premises.

Interestingly, Narendra Modi will become the first Indian Prime Minister to visit Falaknuma. Rajendra Prasad, the first President of India, was among its guests.

A palace historian may take Ivanka, Modi, and others for a guided tour of the palace aptly named `Falaknuma` or mirror of heavens.

It was Nawab Vaqar-ul-Umra, the Nizam`s prime minister, who built the palace in 1893. Impressed by its magnificence, sixth Nizam Mir Mahboob Ali Khan bought it for himself and stayed there till 1911.

Built over 32 acres, the scorpion-shaped, all-marble palace stands tall in its splendour and majesty atop a hill, at 2,000 ft above sea level and overlooks the old city of Hyderabad.

A majestic blend of Italian and Tudor architecture, it has 60 lavish rooms and halls including Durbar Hall, embellished with intricately carved wooden ceilings, parquet flooring, regal walnut wood furniture and handcrafted mirrors.

The interiors are a splendid interplay of Venetian chandeliers and intricate frescos and have charming outdoor terraces, and a treasure of rare artefacts, including paintings, statues, furniture, manuscripts, and books.
