October is the Month of Holy Baths

While the western world is engaged in festive activities of Halloween and feasts of All Saints and All Souls, India in the east is engaged in observing Tula Snan, the Holy Month of Bath and celebrating the Ganges Bath festival, Diwali.

October-November is a season of commemorating departed people and do rituals for absolution of sins. Christian people have special prayers and charity deeds for the departed souls of their loved ones in the month of November. The Hindus observe "Darpan" rituals of their forefathers and observe holy baths during the month of Tula which starts in the middle of October and ends in the middle of November.
