The Gadhimai Festival is a significant religious event celebrated in Nepal, primarily by the followers of the goddess Gadhimai. It occurs every five years at the Gadhimai Temple in the Bara District. The festival attracts thousands of devotees who come to worship and participate in various rituals, including animal sacrifices. During the festival, a large number of animals, including goats, pigs, and chickens, are sacrificed as offerings to the goddess. This practice has drawn both local and international attention, leading to debates about animal rights and the ethics of such rituals. The festival is a blend of cultural tradition and religious devotion.
