Modi, who turned 64, went to Gandhinagar, 23km from Ahmedabad, alone in a normal vehicle without any security to meet his mother Heeraben on his first birthday as Prime Minister, sources said.
On the occasion, she donated Rs 5,000 for the Prime Minister's Relief Fund for Jammu & Kashmir, they said.
Modi also received a call from Abe who wished him on his birthday, in a reflection of the special bonding the two prime ministers enjoy.
Modi visited Japan only a fortnight back and the warmth between the two leaders was on display during that time.
President Mukherjee called up Modi to wish him. Vice-president Hamid Ansari also wished him.
