Shared by DJ AJ, the clip shows a lively wedding procession—complete with vibrant traditional attire, energetic dance moves, and thumping music—taking over one of the most iconic financial streets in the world. “We shut down Wall Street for a 400-person baraat—who would’ve ever thought?!” the DJ captioned the now-viral post. “Definitely a once-in-a-lifetime kind of magic.”
The scene looks straight out of a Bollywood movie: guests dressed in lehengas, sarees, sherwanis, and kurta pajamas dance their hearts out on the closed-off street, while the bride and groom lead the celebration. With the towering New York skyline as their backdrop, the wedding party turned the concrete jungle into a dance floor.
In the video, many people of New York could be seen recording videos of the baraat.
Social media couldn’t resist chiming in. While many were thrilled by the energy and grandeur of the moment, others were more critical. Many viewers found the scene entertaining and uniquely “New York,” where spontaneous street events aren’t exactly rare. Some praised the DJ for turning an iconic financial hub into a dance floor, applauding the sheer energy and spectacle.
Others joked that only Indians could pull off something this grand and joyful in such a setting. While some celebrated the moment as a cultural win, a few users humorously hinted at political undertones, referencing immigration and Trump-era sentiments. Several pointed out that the celebration brought smiles to onlookers' faces, with many New Yorkers seen filming the festivities.
At the same time, there were concerns that such high-profile events might lead to new restrictions in the future. Overall, the internet was a mix of amused, impressed, and opinionated over this unexpected slice of desi celebration in Manhattan.
