Nepalese Armed Police Force dogs perform an exercise during dog worship day, as part of the Tihar festival in Kathmandu, Nepal on November 12, 2023. The Tihar festival is the second major festival for Nepalese Hindus and this year is held for five days, begining on 11 November 2023. During the festival people worship crows, considered to be messengers of human beings; cows, considered as incarnations of lord Laxmi (the god of wealth); and dogs, repaying the love towards man's “best friend”.
