On October 24, 2024, Mayor Eric Adams welcomed more than 1000 guests to a lively reception celebrating Diwali at Gracie Mansion. This significant event provided a wonderful opportunity for various communities to unite in celebration of the Festival of Lights, a key festival in Indian culture. A prominent highlight of the evening was the participation of the World Vegan Vision, established by H.K./ Malti Shah and facilitated by Vice Chairman Satish Karnidkar. They generously provided delicious plant-based vegan mithai (sweets) and savory treats, aligning perfectly with the event’s theme of promoting environmental sustainability and plant-based lifestyles.
