In a proud moment for the Indian community in the United States, California has officially recognized Diwali as a state holiday. Governor Gavin Newsom made the announcement, marking a historic decision that celebrates cultural diversity and the growing influence of the Indian diaspora in the state.
The decision reflects California’s commitment to honoring different traditions and fostering inclusivity. Diwali, the Festival of Lights, symbolizes the victory of good over evil and is celebrated by millions of Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists around the world.
With this declaration, schools, state offices, and public institutions in California will now have the option to observe the festival, allowing the Indian-American community to celebrate it with greater significance and visibility.
Indian community leaders across the US have welcomed the move, calling it a recognition of their cultural heritage and contributions to the state.
