Justin Bieber has touched down in Mumbai and we bet you can already guess why.

Festivites for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's upcoming nuptials are in full swing and the Peaches singer will be performing at the couple's sangeet, happening tonight.

Bringing Bieber to India reportedly cost the richest family in India an astounding $10 million. That's more than they shelled out for Rihanna ($8 million) and Beyonce ($4 million), who performed at their pre-wedding celebrations.


This marks Bieber's second trip to India, the first being when he performed at his first concert in the country and was embroiled in a lip-syncing scandal.

According to India Today, Adele, Drake and Lana Del Rey will also be performing at the swanky wedding celebrations. During the couple's pre-wedding functions last month in Italy and France, singer Katy Perry, pop band Backstreet Boys and Italian classical singer Andrea Bocelli entertained their family and friends.

The events will kick off with a Shubh Vivah (Auspicious Wedding), where guests are encouraged to wear traditional Indian attire, followed by a Shubh Aashirwad (Diving Blessings) the next day, for which the dress code is Indian formal wear.

For the final event, Mangal Utsav (Wedding Reception), attendees have been asked to dress to the nines in Indian chic wear.
