Message from Prime Minister of India - Narendra Modi
"I am happy to learn that "Diwali at Times Square" is being organized on October 16, 2016, in connection with the festival - Diwali.

Carolyn B. Maloney - Member of Congress
"I wanted to sincerely thank you for including me as part of the incredible Diwali celebration at Times Square. I felt so lucky to be able to share such a special moment with thousands of people. Times Square, as one of the brightest places on earth, was the perfect location to honor light over darkness.
After working for many years in Congress to get the Post Office to issue a stamp commemorating Diwali, it was moving to celebrate knowledge over ignorance and good over evil with so many participants. It was the perfect reward for all of the hard work. Thank you again for including me as a part of a wonderful event."
