Maneka Gandhi’s protest and Nepal’s ‘Budhha Boy’ Ram Bahadur Bomjan’s appeal would not be able to prevent sacrifice of nearly half a million animals at this month’s Gadhimai Mela in this Himalayan nation.

Billed as the world’s largest animal sacrifice fair, the event held every five years at Bariyapur in Bara district of southern Nepal is expected to attract nearly five million Hindu devotees from across the country and several Indian states as well.
