The Hanuman Chalisa was recited for the first time at the UK's House of Lords during a Diwali celebration organised by the Labour Asians Society. Hosted by Lord Uday Nagaraju and led by Here&Now365 founder Manish Tiwari, the event brought together parliamentarians, business leaders and members of the British Asian community. The evening began with a minute's silence honouring soldiers who died in conflicts, including those from the Indian subcontinent who served in both World Wars. Tiwari described Diwali as a celebration of shared heritage, while Lord Nagaraju highlighted its message of unity, hope and light over darkness.
