Indian-American Community Hosts Diwali Celebration Dinner

The event, organized by the Indian American Cultural Association, took place at the Edison Convention Center on Saturday evening. Attendees included families, community leaders, and local elected officials.

The dinner featured traditional Indian dishes such as biryani, samosas, and gulab jamun, prepared by local restaurants. Cultural performances, including classical dance and music, were held throughout the night.

Organizers said the dinner aimed to bring the community together and share Diwali traditions with a broader audience. The festival, which symbolizes the victory of light over darkness, is one of the most important holidays in India.
