Perry and Brand are staying at a resort near the Ranthambhore wildlife sanctuary in India.

Though the area is known for its tiger population, according to a wildlife guard, the group "saw baby deer, spotted deer, blue bulls, jackals, and jungle cats".

Still, the source said, "they were thrilled."

Brand and Perry joined in the wildlife fun later by going on safari.

A small bazaar was set up inside the resort — an Indian wedding tradition — where guests can buy textiles, jewellery and Indian handicrafts, or have their fortunes told — by a parrot.

Later, under a full moon, 40 folk musicians and dancers entertained the wedding party.

"Everyone was relaxing by the pool and drinking and eating Indian snacks while we performed," People quoted Lalit Tiwari, who had brought the troupe into Ranthambhore from New Delhi, as saying.

"Towards the end, some of them came towards the stage and started dancing during the bhangra [a Punjabi folk dance]," Tiwari added.
