In Taatopaani, Nepal, sheep and mountain goats are led down the mountain to market. A man stands aside as a soldier with a rifle strapped on his forehead walks by. Dasain festival is in October, and these animals are bound for cities and towns for the festival. During the festival, sheep and goats are sacrificed at home and in temples.
