Diwali Goes Bigger and Better in America
About two decades ago, when Sujata Kohli first came to the United States, her first Diwali in a Chicago suburb of Wilmette was spent feeling lonely and homesick. She recalls, “None of my neighbors knew anything about Diwali. I wore my Benarasi sari and got strange looks from people on the street, there were hardly any sweet shops I knew of selling mithai and towards evening when I placed a diya on my balcony, I was scared that my neighbors might think that I accidentally lit a fire.” But that was then, within a short span of a few years so much has changed in America that Diwali almost feels like a mainstream festival today. While awareness around Diwali has been on the rise for many years now, especially this year in America, it seems that Diwali has become grander and more unmissable. Diwali -- the festival of lights celebrated by more than one billion people across the world will fall on Thursday, October 31 this year.
Diwali Recognized as an Official Holiday in some states
As the Indian student and workingprofessionals population continues to swell in America, it is obvious that one would find more people celebrating the festival around the country. But as sociologists would tell you, the real marker of if any cultural practice is becoming mainstream is when you begin to see official acceptance. This year, many states across the United States created history by recognizing Diwali as an official holiday. Pennsylvania became the first U.S. state to declare Diwali an official public holiday.
On October 9, 2024, Pennsylvania Senate passed the bill to declare Diwali as an official state holiday. Under a bipartisan bill signed by Governor Josh Shapiro, Diwali according to the new law will be observed annually on the 15th day of Kartik according to Hindu calendar.
One of the most diverse cities in the U.S. – New York City also was not one to be left behind and has in many ways paved the way for other states. Last year, in 2023, New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed legislation so that Diwali would be declared a school holiday for public schools. The news came as a welcome change for families celebrating as the kids no longer would have to miss the school in order to mark the most important Hindu festival on the calendar.
Texas is another state with a sizable Indian population that has announced Diwali as an official public holiday along with New Jersey that too marks the festival in some official capacity.
Major Retailers Mark Diwali
A casual stroll across Costco – the multibillion-dollar global retailer would tell you that Halloween is not the only holiday that is around the corner. Costco welcomed the Diwali prep by including in its warehouses across the country with merchandise especially curated for the festival. So, while until a few years ago, patrons could be seen buying bulk chocolates around Diwali to exchange as gifts amongst family and friends, this year most Costco members reported
seeing at least three different types of Indian mithais – ranging from jalebi to laddoos available around this time of the year. Not just that, if you are planning to host during Diwali there are also specially curated paper plates complete with diyas to light up your festivities some more. At certain warehouses members also were delighted to find diyas being sold. Several new additions for the festival are not exclusive to Costco alone. At Walmart one could find everything from brass diyas to flowers meant for Rangoli. TJ Maxx, another big retailer is seeing things like ethnic table runners, rangolis and lanterns flying off the shelves.
Not just big-box American retail houses but even the desi stores like the famed
Biden Hosts Proud Diwali Celebration
US President Joe Biden hosted a Diwali celebration at the White House on Monday that was attended by more than 600 prominent Indian Americans. In a standing-only packed East Room of the White House, President Biden said, “It means a great deal to me,” emphasizing the key role South Asian Americans have played in his administration. “From Kamala to Dr. Murthy to so many of you here today, I’m proud that I kept my commitment to have an administration that looks like America,” he added.
Patel Brothers that is the go-to for all Indians in the US as their store to shop for masalas and dals has also revamped its Diwali offerings. Even though Diwali had always been a big deal at ethnic stores like Patel Brothers, this year they did the most American thing – introducing Diwali themed tableware. Most Americans are accustomed to bringing out seasonal plates and cups whether it is for a game night or a fall event, so Indians thought why should Diwali be left behind.
Diwali Merchandise
Bigger brands are also noticing the spending power around the festival and are happy to cater to the customers. Mattel Toys launched a Barbie Doll themed around Diwali. The Barbie Diwali doll has been carefully curated complete with a stunning dark blue Indian outfit designed by Indian designer Anita Dongre. Author Chhavi Arya Bhargava came out with a book on Diwali titled, ‘A Kids Book About Diwali.’ Talking about her book, she says, “Diwali has never been bigger or more important in America than right now. To some degree, that made this the perfect moment to write and release a book like mine. From the beginning, we decided we would not solely target the South Asian diaspora with this book. In fact, the editorial and publishing team supporting the book came from a wide range of backgrounds, representing various cultures in addition to South Asian.”
Diwali
at the Games
If you are thinking Diwali is growing only because of the commercial aspect it brings along, then think again, it might also be gently becoming a pop culture phenomenon. This year, The Vancouver Canucks – a professional ice hockey team based in Vancouver, Canada have come up with new sports jerseys depicting a Diwali logo. Designed by Keerat Kaur, the logo features fireworks and peacock designs. According to the designer the blue backdrop represents the night sky, which transitions from turquoise to pink and culminates in a radiant yellow. Other firsts associated with the festival also include, Harris County in Texas becoming the first in the region to officially approve the sale of fireworks for the Diwali holiday season last week. As Hindu Americans get ready to celebrate the festival of lights, most confirm that the occasion seems more joyous seeing their adopted country embracing the festivities head-on.
