The people in the Hindu faith worship Brahman and other incarnations of him at a temple or mandir. They don't have a certain time to go and worship, they go and come as they please.

Hindus strongly believe in karma. Now most people only think of it as bad, but the Hindus believe there is good and bad. If you do something good to others, good karma comes to you and vise versa.

One of the many religions the Hindus celebrate is Hoil. It's one of their holidays that aren't so religious in Early March. It celebrates spring and remembers many events in Hindu mythology.

Diwali is also a celebrated holiday by the Hindu religion. It's very much like New Years Eve for Christians. It's celebrated as the Festival of Lights. Welcoming the new year because it takes place on the last day they have on their calendar.
