Sting parties in Jodhpur

English musician and guitarist Sting went all desi at a party hosted by His Highness Gaj Singh II, at the Mehrangarh fort in Jodhpur, on Friday evening. Sting arrived at the party with his actor- wife Trudie Styler, and the guests were heartened to see them in Indian outfits.
