Diwali Greetings from the U.S. State Department

The U.S. Department of State extends warm greetings to all those celebrating Diwali, the Festival of Lights, around the world. This joyous occasion is a time for families and friends to come together, share laughter and love, and reflect on the triumph of good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and hope over despair.

Celebrating the Spirit of Diwali

Diwali marks the victory of Lord Rama over the demon king Ravana, symbolizing the triumph of truth and righteousness. It is also a time to celebrate the return of Lord Krishna to his kingdom after years of exile. The festival is observed with great enthusiasm across India and by Hindu communities worldwide.

A Festival of Light and Togetherness

Diwali is a beautiful blend of tradition, culture, and spirituality. The lighting of diyas (oil lamps) symbolizes the dispelling of darkness and the spread of knowledge and enlightenment. The vibrant colors of decorations, the exchange of sweets, and the festive atmosphere all contribute to the joy of the occasion.

A Message of Unity and Hope

From the United States, we celebrate the spirit of Diwali, a time for unity, peace, and hope. This festival reminds us of the importance of overcoming adversity and striving for a brighter future. We believe that the values of Diwali – compassion, generosity, and inclusivity – are essential in building a more harmonious world.

Embracing Diversity and Understanding

The U.S. Department of State recognizes and celebrates the diversity of cultures and faiths represented in our global community. Diwali is a testament to the power of shared values and the importance of embracing different traditions.

Wishing You a Happy and Prosperous Diwali!

On behalf of the United States Department of State, we wish everyone celebrating Diwali a joyous, peaceful, and prosperous festival. May the light of Diwali illuminate your lives and bring you happiness and success in the year ahead.

Happy Diwali!
