For Kamala Harris and her family, US President Joe Biden hosted a Diwali or Lights Festival celebration inside the White House.
While his deputy, Kamala Harris, stood in front of him with a smile on her face, Vice President Joe Biden lit the candles inside the White House while standing next to First Lady Jill Biden.
The first woman and someone with brown skin to serve as vice president in the history of the United States is Indian-born Kamala Harris.
In addition to holding prayers and lighting pyrotechnics during the Diwali Festival celebration, Indians also undertake oil and candle lighting.
Lighting candles or decorating homes with lights is a symbol of the victory of light over darkness and good over evil, according to ancient Indian beliefs.
Diwali lights festival celebrations begin on the first day and last for five days because Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, prosperity, youth, and beauty, is celebrated on that day.
Hindus reportedly resorted to purchasing presents like jewellery, clothing, kitchenware, and lamps to welcome the goddess of fortune, according to stories in Indian media.
In the White House, Biden banishes evil by lighting the candles.
