Diwali comes early this year for the Indian American community in the States! The United States postal service has released a Forever stamp dedicated to the Indian Festival of Diwali. This is the fruit of a 15-year-old effort by various groups of Indian Americans.
Diwali, the Festival of Lights will be rightly depicted on the stamp in the form of a traditional oil-lit Diya Lamp. The design is inspired by a photograph that was clicked by Sally Andersen-Bruce of Connecticut. The background and hue in gold which further adds to the richness of the stamp. Being issued as a Forever Stamp, it will stand equally in value alongside the First-Class Mail 1-ounce price.
The Diya lamp that is portrayed in the lamp has become noted in the US only after President Barack Obama lighted it at the White House back in 2009. Diya Lamps are made from pottery clay and have cotton wicks that are bathed in ghee.
After years of struggle by various cultural organizations to have a stamp that represents the 2 million Indians in the US, on October 5th the dream will come true! The Indian Consulate in New York City will host the ceremony that will release the stamp for the world to see. It is indeed an early Diwali for all!
