A Hindu devotee slaughters a buffalo as an offering to Hindu goddess Gadhimai during the Gadhimai Festival in Bariyarpur, 160 kms south of the capital Kathmandu on December 3, 2019. The stench of raw meat hung in the air and pools of blood dotted the muddy ground on December 3 as what is thought to be the world's biggest animal sacrifice swung into action in a remote area of Nepal.
