Understanding Halloween
Halloween falls on October 31 each year. People across the world dress as ghosts, witches, vampires or other eerie characters and apply makeup to complete the look. Children wear unusual outfits and visit neighborhood homes, saying “trick or treat,” and in return they receive chocolates or candies.
The festival dates back nearly 2,000 years to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. Celebrated in Ireland and Scotland, it marked the end of the harvest season and the arrival of winter. Celts believed that on the night of October 31, the boundary between the living and the dead became thin, allowing spirits to roam the earth. Over time, the festival came to be observed as the eve of Christian All Saints' Day and eventually evolved into Halloween.
Halloween in Indian cities
In India, the holiday is gaining popularity among young people and children in large cities such as Mumbai, Kolkata and Delhi-NCR. Themed parties and costume events are increasingly becoming the way the day is celebrated.
