Queens Borough President Melinda Katz last week hosted her third-annual celebration of Diwali – also known as the Festival of Lights – at Queens Borough Hall. People of different faiths gathered to mark the ancient South Asian festival that celebrates the victory of good over evil (symbolized by light overcoming darkness.)
Pictured with Katz are last Wednesday evening’s honorees: Gouranga Kundu (l. to r.), Pandit Tillackdharry Seerattan, Anup Ramnauth, Binrowtie Angelini, and Ramaswamy Mohan.
