Gadhimai temple is one of the most popular temple of Nepal, located at southern part of the country at Bariyarpur of Bara district. Gadhimai temple is famous for its unique properties i.e its festival which is also called Gadhimai Mela in Nepal which holds in every five year. Billions of tourists and pilgrims are arrived during the fest from different part of the world mostly from India and different part of Nepal to see and worship the goddess Gadhimai. Gadhimai festival is famous for the largest animals sacrifice in the world. Near about one millions of animals are sacrifices which includes buffalos (male), He goats, pigeon, cock, duck. All the animals are killed by cutting their head around the area of the temple gadhimai.

                                                                   

    Last time the festival was held in Nov-2015 A.D and next is going to hold in Nov-2019 A.D. The fair or mela holds for near about two month that starts in November and ends in December. But the actual fest or puja is for ten days which starts in the middle of the November. During that ten days huge mass of pilgrims and tourist are arrived for the worship of goddess gadhimai. Due to the large mass of people, there is difficulty in walking too around the area of the temple. Many old people and children are also get lost in the fair. Some of them also dies due to huge mass. During that ten days, people won’t get proper place to walk. even don’t get place to stand near the temple’s area.

  The quantities are decreasing fest to fest because the government and different organization force to stop the killing of the animals at gadhimai temple. Nepal has open border with India people can easily go and come in India. Due to this reason many of the buffalos are transported from the India by the pilgrims who come to visit Gadhimai temple.  And during last festival of Gadhimai government of India had banned to pass the buffalos from the border. Due to this reasons also number of buffalos had decreased during the fest of 2015 A.D. Some people also goes there by taking some sweets and coconuts for worship of goddess gadhimai.
