Kovind arrives on Sunday accompanied by high-ranking officials.
During the evening, the president will be meeting members of the Indian diaspora in Cyprus at the Hilton hotel.
On Monday, he will be received by Anastasiades during an official ceremony at the presidential palace. The two will have a private meeting, followed by official consultations with the delegations of both sides.
Nicosia and New Delhi are currently working on the finalisation of four to six bilateral agreements, expected to be signed during the visit.
