Salman, the men of the Khan family, and many male guests wore saafas, the traditional North Indian turbans.
The wedding ceremony began at 4:30pm with the baraat that included two bands, one from Delhi and the other from Hyderabad. The baraat was received by Salman's father Salim Khan, mother Salma and brothers Sohail and Arbaaz. A jaimala and pheras also took place.
Post-wedding celebrations include performances by singers Mika Singh and Yo Yo Honey Singh, Salman Khan and his stepmother, former actress Helen.
Heavy security made it difficult to tell which celebrities from the VVIP guest list had shown up. A crowd of fans, many of them from Mumbai, mobbed cars driving into the hotel.
The wedding feast is a toothsome Hyderabadi spread with dishes like Haleem and Kachche Gosht Ki Biryani.
A farewell lunch will be held at the Falaknuma Palace on November 19 after which guests will head back home. A reception is expected to take place in Mumbai on November 21.
The week-long celebrations began on Sunday, November 16 with a haldi ceremony at the Khan residence, Galaxy Apartments, followed by a mehendi and sangeet.
