A heartwarming video showing a desi baraat shutting down Wall Street in New York City, United States, is going viral on social media. Shared by a DJ on Instagram, the video's caption read, "We shut down Wall Street for a 400-person Baraat—who would’ve ever thought?!" The viral clip shows nearly 400 people, part of an Indian wedding procession and dressed in traditional attire, dancing their hearts out as they take over the famous Wall Street in New York City. The video also shows guests at the wedding party dancing to upbeat tracks, a mix of pop and Bollywood. At the centre of the celebration are the bride and groom, who are seen dressed in a red lehenga and beige sherwani, respectively, as they groove to the music. The viral video drew mixed reactions from netizens. Taking to the comments section, one user said, "People in NYC are so happy and surprised as well …recording videos of Barrat," while a second user commented, "Wow !!! That’s amazing." A third user said that this was a new way of having a destination wedding. Actor and dancer Lauren Gottlieb also reacted to the viral video.

Wall Street Certainly Isn't a Place for a Baraat
What a bunch of ugly , crass people who are making a cheap spectacle of a pious occasion. Wall Street certainly isn't a place for a baraat. It's these kinds along with the IT public that bring hatred towards the Indian diaspora.
