As the couple arrived at the venue, people welcomed them with folk dances on drum beats and music. A large number of jubilant people danced. They also bought horses that danced on drum beats.

Two trucks of flowers were spent for decoration. On the occasion, the Sailkot police and law enforcement agencies provided full packed roof security.
