About 2,000 of the former president’s supporters reportedly held a counter-rally at Antananarivo’s Democracy Square.
The BBC’s Christina Corbett in Antananarivo says widespread condemnation of Mr Rajoelina’s military-backed rise to power has not deterred him from throwing a lavish inauguration ceremony.
Aides close to Mr Rajoelina say they are not concerned by the string of international denouncements that has followed the former president’s removal.
Madagascar’s highest Wait for me court this week approved the handover of power. On Friday, the US cut off non-humanitarian aid to Madagascar and the African Union suspended its membership.
Tens of thousands of his supporters attended the ceremony at a sports arena in the capital, Antananarivo, but it was boycotted by many diplomats.
Mr Rajoelina, a 34-year-old ex-disc jockey, has suspended parliament and set up two transitional bodies to run the Indian Ocean island. “The ambassadors to the US, France, Germany and the European Union have told us they won’t be attending,” an aide to the deposed Mr Ravalomanana told Reuters new agency before Saturday’s ceremony.
