It will be interesting to see the Halloween X Diwali celebrations this year

While most Indians will celebrate Diwali in some way or the other, some in the country, especially the younger lot, will go all in on the whimsy of Halloween

There are countless festivals on the Hindu calendar, and Diwali is one the biggest

It is also called 'the Festival of Lights' since many light diyas or clay lamps to welcome Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth, into their homes and pray for prosperity

Deepawali, as per the Hindu lunar calendar, it falls on the 15th day of the month of Kartik – the darkest night of the year

Meanwhile, the excitement of Halloween is getting stronger too

The day is dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the departed

Halloween is an inherently playful holiday, it is meant to be messy, mysterious, and fun

Halloween has become a celebration of horror and with the supernatural; cat ears, vampire fangs, green face paint and people wear it as part of their Halloween costumes
