Bali Sacrifice
Bali Sacrifice (sometimes known as Jhatka Bali) is the ritual killing of an animal in Hinduism.
The ritual sacrifice normally forms part of a festival to honour a Hindu god. For example, in Nepal the Hindu goddess Gadhimai, is honoured every 5 years with the slaughter of 250,000 animals. Bali sacrifice today is common at the Sakta shrines of the Goddess Kali.
