The parade was scheduled to begin around 3:30 PM IST at Vidhana Soudha, with M Chinnaswamy Stadium being the ending point.

However, the police have not given the permission for the parade. As a result, there will only be a felicitation ceremony for the team at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in the evening. Before going to the stadium, the RCB players and the support staff will also meet Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah at Vidhana Soudha.

While usually all the fans are allowed in the stadium during a felicitation event, RCB has decided to restrict entry, and only ticket and pass holders will be allowed. The attendees have also been advised to use the Metro and other public transport due to limited parking at the stadium.

Here is the full schedule for RCB's felicitation ceremony:

• No victory parade.
• Players and support staff to meet Karnataka Chief Minister at Vidhana Soudha.
• Felicitation ceremony to take place at the Chinnaswamy Stadium from 5PM to 6PM.
• Entry restricted to ticket / pass holders only.
• Public advised to use the Metro and other public transport.

RCB's historic triumph:

Coming to the game, RCB beat Punjab Kings by 6 runs to clinch their maiden IPL title. After 17 years and losing three finals, the Bengaluru-based outfit finally won the title-decider and claimed the elusive IPL trophy.
