Last week, the Indian American community celebrated Diwali, the festival of lights. The holiest day of the Hindu calendar, Diwali celebrates the spiritual victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. Today, we welcome these amazing community members right here in our Nation's Capitol. In Bucks and Montgomery Counties, Pennsylvania, I am honored to recognize the Hindu community and members of the Indian American community who celebrated and expressed their faith. Today, I am proud to recognize the several mandirs who serve our community in innumerable ways located in Levittown, Montgomeryville, Warrington, Feasterville- Trevose, Bensalem, and Souderton. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to join the Hindu faith community in celebrating Diwali and applaud their efforts of inclusion and community betterment in Pennsylvania and across America. I look forward to working with these amazing people today and every day ____________________
