A new state holiday will be approved soon.
The legislature voted in favor to make Diwali and official Pennsylvania holiday.
Supporters say thousands of state residents celebrate Diwali each year, which is the Hindu festival of lights.
Under the bill, schools, government, and employers are not required to close.
The bipartisan bill is expected to be signed into law soon.
