British comic Russell Brand and US pop star Katy Perry moved their India wedding extravaganza to Jaipur for a gala reception Sunday, a day after tying the knot amid tigers and tight security.
Brand and Perry were married Saturday in what the couple described in a statement as a "very private and spiritual ceremony" attended by close family and friends,  according to AFP.
Privacy was maintained by heavy security at the venue -- a luxury resort adjoining the Ranthambore tiger sanctuary in northern India -- which was screened off to keep out the prying eyes and lenses of the paparazzi.
The ceremony had a distinctly Indian flavour with Brand leading the marriage procession on a horse, flanked by dozens of elephants and camels.
Perry's wedding dress had an Indian theme and she had traditional Indian henna tattoos on her palms as part of the wedding preparations, media reports said.
