US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti danced to the popular song "Tauba Tauba" during Diwali celebrations at the US Embassy in Delhi on Wednesday.

He performed Bhangra on stage to the hit song from the Vicky Kaushal-starrer movie Bad Newz. Garcetti wore a brown kurta, cool shades, a red dupatta, and taupe shoes to complete his festive look.

Earlier, he shared his excitement by posting an image of the embassy adorned with golden lights for Diwali. "Our Embassy is lit up and we are all set for Diwali. How are you celebrating the Festival of Lights?" he asked.

In a post on X, he said, "What a beautiful celebration of Diwali at the White House! As we celebrate the journey of light, we also honor the invaluable contributions of Indian Americans who deepen the US-India bond. From New Delhi to DC, may the light of Diwali illuminate every corner of the world and spread the message of peace and prosperity."

The White House hosted a Diwali celebration, honouring Indian Americans' contributions to the "US-India bond." Recently, First Lady Jill Biden and President Joe Biden hosted a Diwali celebration at the White House on October 28, inviting Indian Americans from across the United States to attend.

This marked their final Diwali celebration as President and First Lady, adding a unique touch to the luminous tradition over the years. (ANI)
