Ms. Jayalalithaa, AIADMK supremo, was sworn in as Chief Minister about eight months after she was forced to quit over corruption charges.
Twenty eight ministers were also sworn in at the ceremony.
Earlier, Mr. Modi congratulated Ms. Jayalalithaa soon after she was acquitted by the Karnataka High Court in the disproportionate assets case.
