Festivities marking this event in South Asia are often spectacular and involve scripture recitations, high voltage performance arts, revelry, gift-giving, family homecomings, feasting, and public processions. The New York Times has described it as "a Hindu Mardi Gras", and UNESCO has listed it as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
