New Delhi:
Halloween, Christmas, Coachella... you name it all share the strait- the battle of costumes. Like many of the celebrations that you know, Halloween is also a proliferation from a digressed cultural intent. And like Santa Claus where children are lullabied into the false belief of this pot-bellied dude who will descend from the chimney in his reindeer-drawn sleigh with gifts if they are good, Halloween is also another culturally woven practice. For unbeknownst to them and contrary to the origin of the Christian belief, Santa Claus have its origin from the pagan god, Odin. The children sure will be baffled to know that much like the Norse God, Odin, Santa Claus is also shown in a very similar fashion with a white beard and flowing coat.

Celebrations and festivals most of the times are drawn or with time grow contradictorily to the intent of the ones celebrating. And Halloween is no different. Originally a celebration of the ancient Celtic festivals of Samhain celebrated with people lighting bonfires and wearing costumes to ward off ghosts, Halloween is now celebrated as a spooky-licensed day.
The celebration as such is all about funs and games. And people go about conjuring their Ted Bundy, Dracula side with the spookiest of costumes. Halloween now is more like an all age costume-competition and your favourite celebrities’ fervour are no less than any other participants.
