The last-minute activity comes as a pre-wedding party with 300 guests was nearly cancelled after its beach-side venue was bulldozed in a row over planning.
The couple will have a traditional Hindu ceremony with Liz taking part in a women-only preparation ceremony where her hands will be painted with henna.
Arun will arrive on a white horse and the couple will exchange garlands of flowers and walk around a fire seven times to pronounce their union, The Sun reports.
Their first wedding in Gloucestershire took place at the weekend.
Liz diet is ancient history - Mar 7 2007
Many a blushing bride diets frantically to look her best on the big day and it seems that Liz Hurley is no exception.
The model-turned-swimwear designer - who’s known for her stringent eating habits - shaped up for her big day by employing a last minute ’cave man’ diet according to Grazia magazine.
Apparently Liz shed the final 5lbs in order to fit perfectly into her dress by eating only one meal a day.
"Elizabeth was being incredibly sensible in the last few months," a close friend told the magazine.
"But in the last few weeks she started to worry about a few extra pounds that wouldn’t shift, particularly around her tummy. After just three days of the caveman diet her stomach was totally flat.
"She has several pairs of jeans in her wardrobe that she no longer wears.
"She tried on the tightest pair and knew the diet was working when she could wriggle her thumb cleanly between the waistband and her stomach," the friend added of Liz’s method - probably not caveman inspired - to check that the diet was working.

At 21, Hurley got her first film role in the 1987 film Aria after having attended the London Studio Centre on scholarship. Hurley’s role in the film Remando al Viento that same year could be considered a crucial one, as it also starred her future boyfriend Hugh Grant.
However, despite acting and modelling jobs it was a certain safety pinned Versace frock that made Liz on of Britain’s most famous faces. She wore what would soon simply be called ’that dress’ to the premiere of Hugh’s breakthrough film Four Weddings and a Funeral. More attention followed when Estee Lauder signed Hurley to be the face of their cosmetics.
Although together for several years, even sticking together through the embarrassing Divine Brown incident, Hugh and Liz split in 2001 although they remain friends to this day. Liz had a brief fling with billionaire Steve Bing, during which she became pregnant with her son Damien. A very public battle occured during her pregnancy with Bing claiming that the child was not his. Liz found vindication when the child was born - not only was he the spit of Bing but a dna test proved without doubt what we could all see.
Liz is now engaged to Indian businessman Arun Nayer and their impending nuptuals have been the source of much speculation with several dates touted and even Hugh Grant has been suggested as Arun’s best man.
Meanwhile Liz’s career has taken a forward leap. Her acting credentials may be lousy (Bedazzled anyone?) and her stint as presenter of Project Catwalk might have been panned but the very British beauty has found her niche. Elizabeth Hurley Beach, her own range of beachwear has been flying off the shelves in the UK and US while her Estee Lauder job goes from strength to strength.
Liz splits her time between Ampney Crucis in the Cotswolds and California.
