To Our Vibrant Indian Community, Namaste
As we count down to India Day 2026, I invite you to join us in celebrating our heritage, our community, and the values that unite us.
This year is especially meaningful as we mark India's Independence Day while also recognizing the 250th anniversary of the United States. Together, we celebrate the rich traditions of India and the opportunities, freedom, and diversity that make America home for so many of us.
Let us come together as One India to honor our roots, celebrate our journey, and create lasting memories with family and friends.
See you at India Day 2026!
