===Hinduism===
[[Hindus]] remember the dead during the festival of [[Pitru Paksha]], during which Hindus pay homage to and perform a ceremony "to keep the souls of their ancestors at rest". It is celebrated in the Hindu month of [[Bhadra (Hindu calendar)|Bhadrapada]], usually in mid-September.<ref>{{citation |url=http://visionnationals.org/halloween-in-india/ |title=Halloween in India? |author=Lauren Stengele |publisher=Vision Nationals |date=25 October 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151208100852/http://visionnationals.org/halloween-in-india/ |archive-date=8 December 2015 |access-date=11 November 2015 }}</ref> The celebration of the Hindu festival [[Diwali]] sometimes conflicts with the date of Halloween; but some Hindus choose to participate in the popular customs of Halloween.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.beliefnet.com/columnists/omsweetom/2009/10/halloween.html |title=Trick or Treat?
