its not ''gandhi gayanti'', its ''gandhi jayanti'' and its not an indian festival but a very important day in the history of india.
The great leader mohandas karamchand gandhi (better known as mahatma/baapu gandhi) was born on this day(2nd october) and so his birthday is celebrated in india as gandhi jayanti.
No specific rituals are followed on this day it is just marked for paying tribute to the great mahatma gandhi whi helped in getting india her freedom from the britishers through the means of peace and non-violence.
This day is marked for paying respect to the great indian freedom fighter that was mahatma gandhi who was assasinated by nathuram godse

Gandhi Jayanti is a national holiday celebrated in India to mark the occasion of the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, the "Father of the Nation". It is celebrated on October 2, every year. It is one of the three official declared National Holidays of India and is observed in all its states and union territories.
The day is marked by prayer services and tributes all over India, especially at Raj Ghat, Gandhi's memorial in New Delhi where he was cremated. Popular celebration includes prayer meetings, commemorative ceremonies in different cities by colleges, local government institutions and socio-political institutions. Painting and essay competitions are conducted and best awards are awarded for projects in schools and the community,[1] on themes of glorifying peace, non-violence and Gandhi's effort in Indian Freedom Struggle. Usually, Gandhi's favourite song, Raghupathi Raghava Rajaram is sung in memory of him.
