Nepalese men hold onto a goat during an ancient annual Hindu festival ritual in Khokana village, on the outskirts of Kathmandu yesterday. In the ritual, a sacrificial female baby goat is thrown into a pond as men in teams compete to kill it, with the belief that whoever takes the prize will have a prosperous year ahead.
