Oregon State Issues Proclamation Honouring India's Festival of Lights!

Thank Hon’ble Governor Tina Kotek for issuing a special proclamation declaring 8 November 2026 as “Diwali – The Festival of Lights Day” across the State of Oregon!

The proclamation celebrates Diwali’s timeless message of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance and hope over despair, while recognising the vibrant Indian-American community whose cultural heritage enriches Oregon’s social, economic and civic fabric.
