This is not the first time that New York streets have been taken over by an Indian couple and their families for wedding festivities.

Last year, a grand Indian wedding procession brought a slice of desi celebration to the iconic Wall Street. A video of a baraat with nearly 400 people dancing on the streets of Lower Manhattan went viral on social media. Dressed in vibrant traditional Indian attire, the group was seen dancing joyously to DJ beats, temporarily transforming the heart of New York’s financial district into a full-blown Indian wedding scene.

“We shut down Wall Street for a 400-person baraat – who would’ve ever thought?!” wrote DJ AJ, who performed at the event. “A once-in-a-lifetime kind of magic,” he added.
