Britain's first ever Hindu Prime Minister received a kind gesture from King Charles at Buckingham Palace.
As part of the constitutional process of welcoming in a new Prime Minister, Charles formally appointed Rishi Sunak as the country's new head of government. The two men met in the palace's extravagant 1844 Room where a special selection of sweets in honour of Diwali were placed.
The festival was celebrated all across the world by Hindus, Sikhs, and Jains. It comes after Mr Sunak's appointment has triggered a sense of pride among Indian communities in Britain.
