White House to Celebrate Diwali

White House to Celebrate Diwali

According to this story from rediff.com, the White House is going to be celebrating Diwali this year. Apparently, the White House will invite approximately 100 Indian-Americans to join President George W Bush in celebrating Diwali, the festival of lights, in the White House. The reporting on this is kind of shabby, so I will post an update later in the day.

According to Abel Guerra, a Public Liaison Officer, the White House, will host the event, which is closed to the press, at the Indian Treaty Room.


Regardless of whether or not you are one of the invitees, I want to wish you all a Happy Diwali and a prosperous new year.
