No dear, its a kind of a show off for the rich people. They buy an animal, take it to the temple, a person appointed by the temple kills the animal, the blood is offered to the idol and the remaining meat is taken by the person whose animal was.
It wud hav been much better if people stopped this and offered coconut or other offerings. Wud god want to see their own creation die in front of them? God lies within us, if we change our view and accept the good side of our life..we will always hav our lord's hand on our head.

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#0033ff">Usually in kali temples or mother temples i have visited,they use pumpkin as its size and inside represents our vices😕</font>

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#0033ff">No one wants to see their creations die, but then again, who are we to question what is right or what i wrong? I don't believe in sacrifices and i won't do it. if someone does it, i would protest showing my logic. . But i would also protest on the way chickens are carried in poultry vans or goats are tied up before cutting them in meat shop.</font>

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#0033ff">Its just that the moment people add religion to it, some people seem tobe vigilant in condemning all things Hindu, while standing in queue for meat in meat shop.</font>

yeah, probably. My thinking must be like that coz I had seen a short film when I was little. Lol. It was about a poor servant who steals a goat from the temple because he wants to fulfill his family's demands and how he became a social outcast at the end. It was based on the festival dashain.

And wow pumpkin offering? That's the first time I've heard about it. I knew only about coconut. And yeah I see Madvadis doing grand pujas over here. Wud love to see Indian temples and pujas too!

Even I was non-vegitarian till I was eight, after that till 15 and a half I was vegitarian and now I am non veg again. (sometimes I feel really stupid,lol)

I am non-vegetarian as well, so I won't totally complain about animal sacrifices. However, I do support cruelty against animals laws, and I do prefer that they be stunned or anesthetized b4 they are killed so that they don't suffer b4 dying. Making a bloody spectacle of a temple sounds too ghastly.

Incidentally, Kalighat ain't too far from where I live. I've never seen or heard of goats being sacrificed there.

i am glad bcoz of my 1 question,an interesting discussion on animal sacrifice is going on.😃yesterday,someone in ipkknd forum made a topic against animal sacrifices and how ruthlessly ppl kill da animals.Yaar,i can't tell u what reaction dat person got frm those members.almost everybody dere supported animal sacrifice and made fun of him like anything.I am glad members here r discussing maturely abt dis topic.Anyways,we must be bak 2 grilling our 3 dkdmians,shdn't we?😛

"grilling" ...pun intended?! 😆

Naah, the animal sacrifice discussion is much more interesting 😆 Thanks for bringing it up 👍🏼 - gives me the opportunity to continue hijacking this thread w/ this topic 😈

Subha dear, lol, that's exactly what I was thinking? The discussion has shifted to animal sacrifices but it really is very interesting.

Now if u people want to see the real animal sacrifice, u must go to Gadhimai temple(not that any one of u want to=D) This is the place where world's largest killing takes place. Thousands of buffalos, goats, rats, pigs and chickens are killed. I hav seen the photos and oh god it is a bloody scene, a field full of headless buffs.

Now this is what I call pure cruelty. This festival takes place in every 4 year. Even Menaka Gandhi pleaded to the government to stop this ruthless massacre, but no one cud because accn to them this huge killing was performed in the name of religious beliefs.
