Biden sent his best wishes to all those celebrating the Hindu festival in the US and around the world.
"As the Hindu festival of Navratri begins, Jill and I send our best wishes to all those celebrating in the U.S. and around the world. May good once again triumph over evil -- and usher in new beginnings and opportunity for all," he said in a tweet.
Kamala Harris wished that the occasion serves as an inspiration to build a more inclusive and just America.
