This evening was special as it happened to coincide with the first night of<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Diwali\"> Diwali<\/a>&#8211; the Hindu Festival of Lights.<\/p>\n<p>The evening began with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8yMvU73Wr7Q\">National Anthem for both India<\/a> and the United States. Diya(candles) were lit in a ceremony\u00a0 by the\u00a0 ISA faculty advisers, Dr. Susmita Bose and Dr. Amit Bandyopadhyay. Dances- both contemporary and classic were performed, as well as skits and singing throughout the evening.\u00a0 Dinner consisted of catered food by a restaurant all the way from Kennewick, WA. Vegetarian and non vegetarian appetizers and food like Chana Masala and Tandoori chicken were served. Desert consisted of Kheer(rice pudding) and Gulab Jamun. More performances followed dinner, and then they closed with a raffle drawing for gift cards. What a wonderful night full of culture and joy!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_964\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-964\" style=\"width: 792px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-964 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3219\/2019\/10\/IMG_1512-792x528.jpg\" alt=\"Diya(candle) lighting\" width=\"792\" height=\"528\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3219\/2019\/10\/IMG_1512-792x528.jpg 792w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3219\/2019\/10\/IMG_1512-396x264.jpg 396w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3219\/2019\/10\/IMG_1512-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3219\/2019\/10\/IMG_1512-990x660.jpg 990w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3219\/2019\/10\/IMG_1512-1188x792.jpg 1188w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-964\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Diya Lighting<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_967\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-967\" style=\"width: 792px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-967 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3219\/2019\/10\/IMG_1515-792x528.jpg\" alt=\"Performers of the Indian National Anthem\" width=\"792\" height=\"528\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3219\/2019\/10\/IMG_1515-792x528.jpg 792w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3219\/2019\/10\/IMG_1515-396x264.jpg 396w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3219\/2019\/10\/IMG_1515-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3219\/2019\/10\/IMG_1515-990x660.jpg 990w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3219\/2019\/10\/IMG_1515-1188x792.jpg 1188w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-967\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Performers of the Indian National Anthem<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center;
