“For the first time ever, Diwali is now a state-recognized holiday here in Pennsylvania. No matter what you look like, where you come from, who you love or who you pray to, you have a place here in PA — and as Hindu, Jain, and Sikh Pennsylvanians celebrate the Festival of Lights later this week, I hope everyone has a joyous Diwali and a prosperous new year.” Governor Josh Shapiro
