    1:33 we don't celebrate Diwali, we celebrate tihar. Indian people celebrate Diwali, they only celebrate 1 day as Diwali. Tihar is celebrated for 5 days. We're richer in culture. 3:11 nothing is controversial, only some self loathing and self hating people who hate their culture raise controversy over sacrifice.

      I would like to add, In Kathmandu Valley, the natives called it "Swanti" which means 3 day festival.
      1. First Day: Last day of Year is New moon day of the Lunar month of Ashwin of Nepal Samvat. That day is called Laxmipuja (Worship of Goddess of wealth - it's very different than the mainstream indian goddess laxmi), this day is said to be darkest night of the year, so people light ghee lamps or Mustard oil lamps around house.
      2. Second Day: This is the first day of Lunar month of Kartik, New Year day of Nepal Samvat (official calendar of Nepal in malla period 1200-1769 CE), this day is called "Mha Puja" , see the same day is also Gujrati New year. Both Nepal Samvat and Nepal Samvat are same, In 2023 It's 1143/44 Nepal Samvat where as it's 2079/80 Gujrati Samvat.
      3. Third Day: it's the 2nd day of new year, this day is called "Kija Puja" which simply means Brother Worship, Sisters worship their brothers on this day, brothers give present to their sisters. In india this thing is done on Raksha Bandhan.
      Here, 2 days before laxmipuja (last day of year), there are 2 days for Dog and Crow but it's not so important and minor ones.
      This 3 days festival is just 25 days after the 10 days long festival of Goddess in Oct/Nov. In the Nepalese Calendar, 10 days goddess festivals is in the last month of Ashwin, and the 3 day Tihar/Swanti/Diwali is in the first month of new year

    This was a great video. I don't think you were disrespectful to our culture, but I have some thoughts.
    I understand that you wanted to create a dramatic title, but calling our festival an "ANIMAL SACRIFICE FESTIVAL" in all caps tells me that you don't fully understand what our festival is. I don't blame you. You were probably raised thanking the lord for the stuffed turkey that magically appears on your dinner plate each Thanksgiving. This barbaric pagan behavior, befitting of some weird cult, might be "tough" for you to swallow. Again, I don't blame you. It's not like we're celebrating the victory of good over evil and thanking the Gods for providing food.
    I think it all boils down to differences in our cultural values. Your society values individualism, while we value the community. We celebrate our festivals together, with our family, friends, neighbors, the community, sharing the joy of the festival, including food. That's why the animals are killed in public during this festival, sacrificed to the Gods, and shared. It brings people together.
    Again, I am not trying tot attack you. Take this as a satirical positive feedback.
    Please visit again, maybe with a more open mind and enjoy our beautiful culture.
    P.S. If you asked any of the people who were "sacrificing" the animals, they would most likely invite you for a delicious dinner.
    Namaskar.

    We believe that by giving sacrifices to god that animal reach to light and he doesn’t have to rebirth chaurasi Juni. And another belief is Nepal is protected by god from the four corners that’s why we offer food for god to protect us from enemy. We believe that because of mahakali no one win gorkha soilders. When gorkha take out khukuri then they feel extremely powerful energy inside their body to defend their enemy. Many people controversial for sacrifice but they forgot that they eat animals meat in dinner it’s a same thing if you non vegetarian than you can’t debate even you are killing animals for your dinner plate

    There is no controversial about sacrificing. its just dumb people acting like westerner. its our culture we preserve it. Its simple you eat turkey on thanks giving we don't complain & neither judge you or your culture. you eat beaf we don't complain & neither judge you or your culture.so why so called develop country always try to make big scene out of sacrifice. why so much hypocrisy? sacrifice is done usually to express thankfulness. We understand we are taking life but at the same time we are thankful for god for providing us food. And by doing sacrifice in front of god we are trying to get rid of sin of killing living being. we understand that. even before we eat simple as rice we first offer it to god. plant also have life & it provide us so first for god same for everything even sacrifice is same. Today some people have made it something else coz they thing they are westerner & forgetting their root. My suggestion for those kind of people leave country go west & eat beaf & argue about sacrifice.

      Hi, thanks for the comment, as I said in the video it's similar to the way meat is eaten in the West, an animal is killed then eaten. I also said that it is "seen" as controversial but I didn't lean to any side personally because I agree with you, it not my place to say. I only documented what I saw but I appreciate your comment about your culture, I have no intention to cause any animosity through making this video

      2 What time they bear before the Courser, covered with trappings and with wealth, the grasped
      oblation,
      The dappled goat goeth straightforward, bleating, to the place dear to Indra and to Pusan.
      3 Dear. to all Gods, this goat, the share of Pusan, is first led forward with the vigorous Courser,
      While Tvastar sends him forward with the Charger, acceptable for sacrifice, to glory.
      4 When thrice the men lead round the Steed, in order, who goeth to the Gods as meet oblation,
      The goat precedeth him, the share of Pusan, and to the Gods the sacrifice announceth.
      5 Invoker, ministering priest, atoner, fire-kindler Soma-presser, sage, reciter,
      With this well ordered sacrifice, well finished, do ye fill full the channels of the rivers.

      Or to the slayer's hands and nails adhereth,-among the Gods, too, may all this be with thee.
      10 Food undigested steaming from his belly, and any odour of raw flesh remaining,
      This let the immolators set in order and dress the sacrifice with perfect cooking.
      11 What from thy body which with fire is roasted, when thou art set upon the spit, distilleth,
      Let not that lie on earth or grass neglected, but to the longing Gods let all be offered.
