How Much Does It Cost to Shut Down Wall Street for a Wedding Baraat?

In a display of big fat Indian wedding grandeur, Varun Navani and Amanda Soll reportedly spent up to Rs 55 lakh to shut down Wall Street for their extravagant baraat, giving Lower Manhattan a taste of vibrant desi celebration. According to city records, the couple filed 28 permits and paid between Rs 21 lakh and Rs 56 lakh ($25,000–$66,000) per location to make their dream baraat a reality.

A viral video shared by DJ AJ, who performed at the event, shows hundreds dancing to dhol beats and music amid Manhattan’s iconic skyline. Another video on Instagram posted by Saloni Mehta, one of the guests at the big fat wedding, wrote, “Shutting down Wall Street for Baraat, still wrapping my head around it! This wasn’t just a celebration, it was history in the making. One of the craziest, most surreal moments of my life and that they are officially married.” The couple, based in Boston, kicked off their wedding festivities on May 23 at the Conrad hotel, followed by a Sangeet at The Glasshouse.
