The party, which drew about 300 people, is in its fourth year.
The hosts included Indra Nooyi, the former chief executive of PepsiCo; Anjula Acharia, an entrepreneur who also manages Priyanka Chopra-Jonas; and the designer Prabal Gurung.
People shared how they celebrated the Hindu festival of lights growing up.
The holiday, which falls this year on Nov. 12, will be observed by New York City schools for the first time in 2024.
(On Friday, a separate, similarly glamorous event will be held at the Mandarin Oriental in Manhattan, chaired by Preet Bharara, Kal Penn and Radhika Jones of Vanity Fair.)
