Gadhimai festival is a month-long Hindu festival that is held once every five years at the Gadhimai temple of Bariyapur, in Bara District, about miles ( km) south of the capital Kathmandu in southern Nepal. The event involves the world's largest sacrifice of animals – including water buffaloes, pigs, goats, chicken and pigeons – with the goal of pleasing Gadhimai, the goddess of power.
