An influential US lawmaker today greeted Indian-Americans on the occasion of Holi, the festival of colour, which he described as a "beautiful representation of the incredible diversity".
"The Festival of Holi, known as the Festival of Colours, is a time for communities to come together to mark the end of winter and celebrate the coming of spring," said Congressman Joe Crowley.
"During this joyous festival, family and friends will join together through dance, music, meals, the lighting of bonfires celebrating goodness over evil, and the tossing of vibrant-coloured powders into the air, all in a grand celebration of peace, friendship, and harmony," he said in a statement.
"Holi is a beautiful representation of the incredible diversity here in the US and around the world. To all those celebrating, I wish you a happy Holi!" he said.
Crowley is Vice Chair of the Democratic Caucus and former co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on India and Indian- Americans.
