As Justin Bieber gears up for his maiden concert in India, we too seem to be prepared with our shagun aka gifts to be showered on the 23-year-old Canadian singer. By the looks of the 'huuuggge' list of gifts, Justin might have to ask for an extra Sedan or Rolls Royce to stuff all those items. Reportedly, legendary sarod maestro Amjad Ali Khan is giving his an autographed travel-friendly sarod. According to a report published in Hindustan Times, he said "He's a role model for the millennial generation and it's so wonderful to see the love that he has generated. Since it's his first visit, it's a welcoming gesture as an Indian artiste." In fact, considering that Bieber is a left-handed guitarist, Khan is gifting him a left-handed sarod. Now that's indeed a thoughtful gift.

Well, apart from Khan, Bieber will also be receiving gifts from renowned designers like Rohit Bal, Varun Bahl, Anamika Khanna, Krishna Mehta, Amit Aggarwal, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, and Manav Gangwani. Call it the effects of global warming or whatever, but Christmas came way too early for Bieber, who is coming to India as a part of 'The Justin Bieber Purpose World Tour'.

Bahl has apparently put together traditional instruments embellished with fine silk, printed with floral artworks and metallic gold. He said, "The sitar and tabla reflect the core of Indian traditional music, embracing the dynamic culture we hail from." Ace designer Rohit Bal has crafted a biker jacket in cotton velvet, which is handcrafted and hand embroidered with sequins and crystals from Swarovski. According to Bal, the jacket is an amalgamation of Justin's personal style, Indian music and his vision of a cross-cultureal fashion statement.
Further, Ridhima Kapoor Sahni is gifting Bieber's mother, Pattie Mallette, a wreath shaped necklace embellished in ornate rubies and marquise diamonds encrusted in platinum and gold.
Here's what Sahni's message read.
Did you think the list has ended? Nah! Here's more. Designer Amit Aggarwal is gifting Bieber a Khadi jacket with metallic hints and malleable recycled polymer sheet used on the sleeves. He said, "This is a marriage between vintage and modern, the charm of the old and the new world." Designer Anamika Khanna has created an outfit inspired by tribal India for Justin's mother. Manav Gangwani is gifting sneakers and caps for him. He said, "Most foreign artistes love peacock feathers and snake symbols in their outfits when they come to India and hence, I created this on the accessories."
What else! Designer Prasenjit Das has prepared a hand painted denim jacket with graffiti designs, Dhruv Kapoor has come up with an oversized hoodie and Ragini Ahuja has cerated a bomber jacket with sheep leather details.
