When people across India would be celebrating the festival of lights on Friday evening, US President Barack Obama would board Air Force One on his maiden trip to the country, which he says is a chance to honour Mahatma Gandhi's memory, and learn more about modern India.
Accompanied by First Lady Michelle, Obama, would be celebrating the festival of lights with school children in Mumbai -- his first stop on his three-day India trip that would also take him to New Delhi.
"To those celebrating Diwali in India, I look forward to visiting you over the next few days. And to all those who will celebrate this joyous occasion on Friday, I wish you, your families and loved ones Happy Diwali and 'Saal Mubarak'," Obama said in his Diwali greetings on Thursday.
Obama would be boarding Air Force One from the Andrews Force Base.
Even though Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would not be accompanying Obama on Air Force One, in a break from the past tradition, which officials said is mainly due to scheduling conflict, several members of his Cabinet would accompany Obama.
Shah is the highest-ranking Indian American in the Obama Administration. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner would join Obama on the Delhi leg of his trip.
