Gerard Butler is in India. Now, a lot of Hollywood celebs visit India, and do the usual touristy things, and people go 'let them be' - rightfully so, but we couldn't do it in this case because of the sheer degree of 'desiness' the '300' star has embraced in terms of his outfits and accessories.

He started off with his own version of Suryanamaskar (hey, he's paying obeisance to the sun and it does have a devotional vibe so don't @ me), and then went on to embrace the other quintessentially desi elements such as marigold maalas and cosy chaddars.

Looks like he went ahead and offered prayers to Lord Shiva as well, judging by his Tilak

Just look at that intensity, will you?

It does look like a spiritual tour, and we're just glad he had a good time.

He also met Yash Birla at Rishikesh.

He also did some soul searching in the narrow alleyways, somewhere within the hills.

Well, all we can say is, now he is ready for whenever he has to play a desi character. Happy Holidays, Gerard!
