Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended greetings to the nation on the occasion of Diwali. In a message on Twitter, the PM said, Happy Diwali! May this festival bring happiness, good health and prosperity in everyones lives. May the power of good and brightness always prevail!

Netanyahu posted a tweet in Hindi wishing his dear friend PM Modi on Diwali, to which the prime minister also replied in Hebrew.

Modi on Wednesday arrived in Kedarnath on the occasion of Diwali where he offered prayers at the Himalayan shrine and reviewed the Kedarpuri reconstruction projects. Kedarnath witnessed the biggest Diwali celebrations ever with over 5,000 diyas lit to decorate the Himalayan shrine on Tuesday night.

In 2014, Modi had spent Diwali at Siachen with Army jawans and next year, he had visited the Punjab border. His visit had also coincided with 50 years of the 1965 Indo-Pak war.

In 2016, Modi was in Himachal Pradesh, where he spent time with the Indo-Tibetan Border Police personnel at a border outpost. His fourth Diwali as prime minister was spent with soldiers at Gurez in Jammu and Kashmir.
