It's Halloween time and to mark the scariest night of the year, the city is hosting a whole bunch of events with diverse themes. The Guide gives you the lowdown
While the concept of Halloween has been borrowed from the West, globalisation has ensured it’s a part of our annual social calendar as well. The festival is inspired by the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain and the gap between good and evil is supposed to be at its least on the occasion.
To mark the occasion, people make lamps out of pumpkins which are known as Jack-o-lanterns, light bonfires and go trick or treating dressed up as horror characters.u00a0Pune is also set to host Halloween-based events across the city. At Hard Rock Café, there will be special Halloween Day drinks like Killers, Draculas Bite, Witches Heart and Poison Punch served at the party. The creepiest dressed person can win a treat as well.
