Despite a 2019 Supreme Court verdict deeming animal sacrifice inappropriate, a temple in southern Nepal is set to witness the largest event amid widespread protests from rights groups both in Nepal and India demanding "Bloodless Gadhimai."
The once-in-five-year Gadhimai Mela or festival held at the famous shrine of Gadhimai temple in Bara district started on Monday - inaugurated by Vice President Ram Sahaya Yadav - but the main animal sacrifice event will be held on December 8 and 9.
On Sunday, the ceremony will formally start with Panchbali, the sacrifice of five animals and birds - a mouse, a buffalo, a goat, a duck and a pigeon - at the Mela that draws devotees and tourists both from within Nepal and India.
