Bidens, Kamala Harris Host Diwali Celebration at White House
Celebrated by more than 1 billion people around the world, Diwali, the festival of lights, is a five-day religious holiday primarily observed by Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and Jains.
This year, for the first time in U.S. history, a history-making vice president hosted an event to mark Diwali as well.
Kamala Harris, the first person of Indian descent in her role, on Friday held a reception in honor of the festival at her residence in Washington.
