Durga Puja




Hi Everybody,
I got to go to a big festival called Durga Puja. On the second day of Durga Puja they celebrate by sacrificing water buffalo and goats. Thousands of people come to the local palace to watch this event. There is a gated off area where the animals are sacrificed luckily the people I went with knew the King and Prince who lived in the palace and I got a front row view of the event. The tradition is to also dip your finger in the blood and dot it on your forehead I decided to partake in that. They do eat the buffalo afterward so they aren’t wasting the meat.
