Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit will be very busy and he will focus on three things.
The first is to meet with President Joe Biden and attend a bilateral meeting.
Another important component of this trip will be attending the Quad Summit. The alliance, based in the United States, Japan, Australia and India, has held a virtual meeting, but this will be the first time that all the leaders will sit down and talk.
The third highlight of the trip will be Prime Minister Modi's address to the UN General Assembly.
The Indian camp is eagerly awaiting President Modi's meeting with President Biden. This is the first bilateral summit between India and the United States since Biden took over the presidency in January.
Modi is believed to have had personal and good relations with President Barack Obama and President Donald Trump. But President Biden has not yet shown much warmth towards him.
Modi is also holding a separate meeting with US Vice President Kamala Harris. The vice president's mother is from Tamil Nadu and this will be the first formal meeting between the two leaders.
