life:
Fifty years ago, in March 1962, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy traveled to India on a goodwill tour. Here, LIFE.com offers a series of both published and previously unpublished photographs from Kennedy’s 1962 trip — images that capture a young woman, wife, mother and fashion icon-in-the-making (“Her every seam has been the subject of hypnotized attention from the streets of Delhi to the Khyber Pass,” Chamberlin wrote) navigating the high-stakes, high-stress worlds of diplomacy and international relations with apparent ease and inimitable aplomb.

The caption that accompanied this photo in LIFE: “As day followed vivid day, India’s magic began to work on Mrs. Kennedy and — in a change from the first days of the trip — she became relaxed and easy.”
