The festive season is at its peak, we have just celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi and Durga Puja and now its turn for the spooky festival Halloween. It is an occasion where the whole world disguises themselves in unique and scary costumes, decorate their homes, play games, carve pumpkins, party and relish yummy treats. Children dressed up in different characters go from door to door asking for trick or treat.
Celebrated on October 31st every year the ritual of Halloween dates back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain which was also known as a harvest festival. It was believed that on this day, the lines between the living world and that of the dead get blurred, which means the spirits make a visit to the earth. Though it is mainly a festival of western countries, Halloween has made its space in India as well.
