This festival is celebrated with great pomp especially in the Garhwal region and many folk traditions are associated with it. It is believed that the information about Lord Ram's return to Ayodhya was received a little late in the mountains, hence the local people celebrate it as Deep Parv a few days after Diwali. On this day, lamps are lit in homes and temples, devotional songs are sung and the celebrated traditional game Bhailo is played with burning wooden torches.
