The wedding of billionaire Nikesh Arora’s daughter has become the talk of the town—not just for its extravagant scale, but also for the star-studded guest list. Among those attending is US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, recently spotted in Jodhpur, as per reports.

The high-profile celebrations are set to unfold at Rajasthan’s iconic Umaid Bhawan Palace on Saturday, February 28. Alongside Lutnick, Indian Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal is also expected to grace the occasion.

Private festivities began earlier this week, on February 25. The four-day destination wedding kicked off at The Lodhi in New Delhi, followed by a colorful Holi celebration at Bal Samand Palace in Jodhpur, according to reports. The sangeet ceremony is scheduled at Mehrangarh Fort, with the wedding vows and rituals culminating at Umaid Bhawan Palace.
