Halloween, a festival with roots in Celtic traditions and characterized by costumes, trick-or-treating, and themed decorations, is primarily observed in Western countries, particularly the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The observance involves activities like carving pumpkins, attending costume parties, and children going door-to-door to collect candy.
In India, the prevalence of this festival is limited. The nation possesses a rich tapestry of diverse cultures and festivals that hold deep historical and religious significance. These indigenous celebrations, like Diwali, Holi, and Dussehra, are widely celebrated and form an integral part of the Indian cultural identity. Halloween does not share the same historical or cultural relevance within the Indian context.
