President Joe Biden will be celebrating Diwali at the White House on Monday, October 28, joined by numerous NRI from across the country. In a nod to tradition, the event will begin with Biden lighting a Diya lamp in the Blue Room before addressing attendees. This year’s Diwali celebration marks Biden's final White House Diwali as he will not seek re-election.
Special guests at the event include Sunita “Suni” Williams, a former NASA astronaut and retired Navy Captain, who will deliver a video message recorded from the International Space Station, where she now serves as Commander. A practicing Hindu, Williams previously sent Diwali greetings from space and has carried Indian cultural items into orbit as symbols of her heritage.
The celebration will also feature performances by Nootana, a South Asian music and dance group based in Washington, D.C., as well as a performance from the Marine Corps Brand.
