NASA astronaut Sunita Williams, of Indian origin, celebrated Diwali from the International Space Station (ISS), where she's been since June. In a video message, Williams expressed gratitude to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for celebrating Diwali at the White House, highlighting their support for the Indian community. Reflecting on her father’s efforts to maintain cultural traditions, she said, "Diwali is a time of joy as goodness prevails." The White House Diwali event acknowledged the community's contributions. Williams will return to Earth in February, extending what was initially a one-week mission.
