The Diwali bash at the US Embassy in India was a fun-filled affair with music, dance and food.
A video tweeted by the embassy shows the staff indulging in snacks, making rangolis, and taking selfies in their festive best.
Leading from the front was the US Ambassador to India, Eric Garcetti. The diplomat, dressing in kurta pyajama, busted some classic desi moves as he celebrated Diwali.
'Delighted to celebrate #Diwali with dance, food and music with my colleagues for the first time here in India! At this auspicious time, may the festival of light bring you happiness and prosperity in the new year! शुभ दीपावली!' he tweeted.
