This petition is to make Diwali a National Holiday in the U.S. There is a large population of Hindus living in the U.S. who celebrate this special religious holiday, which is unknown on the U.S. Calendar. By making Diwali, Festival of Lights, a public holiday, it will give people time off from work and school. This will allow them to attend religious ceremonies at temples and to enjoy this very important religious holiday with their family and friends.
