Six Halloween-like traditions around the world - SilverKris
"A major temple in the Kathmandu Valley that becomes a focal point for Gai Jatra, a Bhadra (August–September) festival honoring those who died in the past year. Large crowds gather to watch colorful processions in which cows (or boys dressed as cows in urban areas) are bathed, decorated and paraded; the event features singing, dancing and lively street parades as families commemorate loved ones and help guide wandering spirits toward heaven." - Balvinder Sandhu
