The wedding will take place in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, and be blessed by the Hindu priest said to have saved their relationship through 'couples' yoga,' according to the Hindustan Times.
Gurudev Ramlalji Siyag, an 83 year old mystic who describes himself as "one of India's living saints," is reported to have taught the Hollywood stars yoga and meditation techniques during a tour of the United States.
According to a friend, it has helped ease the stress of their hectic lives – they are raising six children while travelling constantly for film and charity commitments.
"They've been practicing his Siddha yoga and they start and end the day by chanting a sacred word he's given them. It's transformed their relationship they've both cut back on drinking and no longer argue," a friend told the newspaper.
They are now understood to be planning a Hindu wedding at the Guru's Adhyatm Vigyan Satsang Kendra ashram in Jodhpur in January. Officials told local reporters the couple may arrive in the city to celebrate New Year's Eve and marry soon after. The first auspicious day in the Hindu calendar following that is on January 14th.
A disciple of the guru at his Jodhpur ashram said he could neither confirm nor deny any wedding plans or that 'Brangelina' had ever met him.
"Guruji is a humble and simple person; he never aspires to have celebrities around him and even if has celebrity followers, he never boasts about it," the disciple said.
Rajasthan is gaining a reputation as a centre for celebrity weddings following Liz Hurley's marriage in Jodhpur in 2007 as well as the nuptials of comedian Russell Brand and his pop star wife Katie Perry at Ranthambore tiger reserve in October.
The state has many former royal palaces which now operate as fortress hotels where celebrities can be guaranteed privacy.
