Puzzled Indians mistook Mayor Boris Johnson for the King of England on the opening day of his tour of the country.
Others thought he was Wimbledon legend Boris Becker as he toured the Akshardhan temple in Delhi while one American businessman who had his photo taken with the mayor at his hotel just referred to him as "that guy on the zip line" - a reference to when Boris got stuck as he traversed Victoria Park during the Olympics.
Today, Mr Johnson began his six-day tour in typical whirlwind fashion as he was greeted by monks with a garland of rose petals and the traditional kanku - the red dot on which was daubed on his forehead.
While there has been widespread publicity in the local media about his visit, not everyone was sure who he was.
Akash Bharadia, 18, is spending his gap year volunteering at the temple.
He said: "One of the locals shouted out it was Boris Becker while some people asked whether he was the King of England.
"They know it's Boris, that's the main thing."
