festiaval for death people

hi!in my culture,we don't have any kinds of festivals. but, in my culture in this time people give foods to birds because of some historical reason. i don't know about history.i will ask about my mother whenever i call my mother.in India, in college days, we celebrate that kind of days. we wore mask and paint on face just for fun. some people get prize also. Indian people celebrate moharam for death people. this is festival for death people who lost their life on war. this is Muslim festivals. but, i know about this festival. people pray for death person. on that day, school and college have holidays. so, it is good for us. Muslim people go to mosque for pray their god.when i was in stander 10th at that time i read chapter about moharram. it was really interesting.people take out side some kind of statue and decorated carts. they get together and show their spirit about death people. there is a one different between u.s and Indian moharam. u.s people celebrate this festival for fun and enjoyment. while, indian people celebrate for peace of death people.
