Hanukkah commemorates the Jewish uprising, known as the Maccabean Revolt, against the Greek-Syrian kingdom, which tried to force its culture on Jews and desecrated their temple in Jerusalem.

Replying to Murmu’s wishes, Herzog said: “Thank you, dear President Murmu! We appreciate your warm wishes and look forward to celebrating this magical holiday of lights.”

Known as the festival of lights, the event goes on for eight days and the celebrations start after sunset as people illuminate their homes, synagogues and public places.
