As the party geared up for the celebrations, Shah's Akbar Road residence was decked up.
Modi and Shah have held several rounds of discussions in the last two days ahead of government formation.
The swearing-in ceremony in the forecourt of the Rashtrapati Bhavan, as expected, was a grand affair with more than 8,000 guests, including leaders from the BIMSTEC countries, opposition leaders Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi, chief ministers, corporate honchos and film stars set to be in attendance as President Ram Nath Kovind administers the oath of office and secrecy to 68-year-old Modi and his ministerial colleagues.
