Diwali: A Message from the US State Department

Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is a celebration of hope, prosperity, and the triumph of good over evil. It is a time for families and friends to come together, share delicious food, light diyas, and exchange gifts. From the United States Department of State, we extend our warmest wishes to all who celebrate Diwali around the world.

Diwali's Universal Message

The story of Diwali, rooted in ancient Hindu mythology, resonates with people across cultures. The victory of Lord Rama over the demon king Ravana reminds us of the importance of courage, righteousness, and the enduring power of hope.

The festival's message is universal: light conquers darkness, knowledge overcomes ignorance, and goodness triumphs over evil. These values are at the core of a just and peaceful world, values that the United States embraces in its pursuit of diplomacy and global cooperation.

Celebrating Diversity and Cultural Exchange

Diwali is a testament to the richness and diversity of cultures. The United States is proud to be a home to people from all walks of life, including a vibrant Indian-American community. The celebration of Diwali in the United States, with its blend of traditions and modern expressions, is a powerful symbol of our nation's cultural tapestry.

We encourage everyone to embrace the spirit of Diwali, to learn from each other's cultures, and to build bridges of understanding and friendship. Let this Festival of Lights be a reminder that together, we can illuminate the world with the power of compassion, kindness, and unity.

Wishing You a Joyous Diwali

From the United States Department of State, we wish you and your loved ones a joyous and prosperous Diwali. May the light of the diyas guide you towards a brighter future, filled with peace, happiness, and success.

Happy Diwali!
