Socialite sisters Kim and Khloe Kardashian were among the global celebrities spotted in India on Friday to attend a lavish three-day wedding ceremony staged by Asia's richest man, Mukesh Ambani.
Ambani's youngest son Anant and his fiancee Radhika Merchant, both 29, will tie the knot over the weekend in the financial capital Mumbai following months of pre-marriage parties that have set a new benchmark in matrimonial extravagance.
Earlier celebrations included a European cruise for 1,200 guests, a party at the Ambanis' ancestral home where a purpose-built Hindu temple was unveiled, and private performances by R&B star Rihanna and Canada's Justin Bieber.
The Kardashians are the latest in a long line of famous foreign VIPs to make an appearance.
Elder sister Kim shared an Instagram story showing her car mobbed by Indian photographers shortly after her arrival and both siblings receiving flower garlands from staff at their luxury hotel.
Actor John Cena, Fifa boss Gianni Infantino and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan posed for cameras on the red carpet upon their arrival at the venue, a huge convention centre owned by the Ambani family's conglomerate.
Former British prime ministers Boris Johnson and Tony Blair were also spotted by reporters arriving at Mumbai airport. AFP
