Gadimai Mela, (Hindu Festival) happens ones every five year, its
famous(notorious) for mass-animal sacrifice(to please Hindu Goddess of
Power), it is estimated around 200,000 animals (including White Rats,
Pigeons, Roosters, Goats and Buffaloes) gets killed in this festival.
This festival can be compared (at least i'll compare in intensity of
sacrifices is concerned) as Thanksgiving in US (~45 million Turkeys
will be killed[Source:PETA]) and Muslim festival of Id-ul-Adha
or Bakr-Id(Festival of Sacrifice, where animals gets sacrificed).
[Please pardon my ignorance/blog space, about other sacrificing rituals
around the world].
