This is a scene from the Diwali episode. Michael proposes to Carol after talking to some Indian parents and hearing that they married after meeting each other once.

This episode was great. Made fun of some of the Indian stereotypes, as well as some of the American stereotypes about Indians, without being offensive.

Quoted: It's Diwali, The Hindu Festival of Lights, Michael encourages the entire Scranton branch to support Kelly and attend a local celebration of Diwali. Meanwhile Ryan faces Kelly's family at the event.

This is great! Why doesn't this "happy news" get some coverage?

Deeparaya is one big celebration of Deepavali (Diwali) + Hari Raya (aka Eid Mubarak). Thanks to Nadine for mentioning this in a dot comment.

Quoted: “There is nothing wrong for us to go to our Hindu friends’ houses during Deepavali or our Hindu friends visiting us during Hari Raya.

Happy Diwali to all!

Quoted: Diwali, also called Deepavali (Sanskrit: दीपावली) is a major Hindu festival. Known as the "Festival of Lights," it symbolises the victory of good over evil, and lamps are lit as a sign of celebration and hope for mankind.
