Wall Street witnessed an unusual spectacle this week as a 400-person Indian baraat procession paraded through Manhattan’s financial district, temporarily halting the usual flow of suits and stocks with dhols, dancing, and DJ beats.
In a viral video, the groom walked on foot, eschewing the traditional horse, while guests in lehengas and sherwanis danced through the streets. The procession turned heads amid the skyscrapers, attracting curious onlookers and confused traders alike.
DJ AJ, who provided the soundtrack for the event, shared a video of the celebration, captioning it, “We shut down Wall Street for a 400-person baraat... definitely a once-in-a-lifetime kind of magic.” The clip quickly went viral, sparking a flood of reactions online.
Social media users celebrated the cultural moment, with one commenting, “Wall Street to Wedding Street in under 10 minutes,” and another joking, “Hope someone rang the NYSE bell with a shehnai.” Others questioned the disruption, calling it a “display of wealth,” but the majority hailed the moment as a joyful fusion of tradition and global city life.
