    FIVE THOUSAND buffalo lie slaughtered at the beginning of Hindu ceremony which sees up to 300,000 animals killed to bring worshippers good luck

        

    • Hundreds of thousands of animals set to be slaughtered during two-day religious festival in Nepal
         
    • The Hindu festival is held every five years in honour of Gadhimai, the goddess of power
         
    • Festivities kicked off on Friday morning with the mass-slaughter of 5,000-6,000 buffalo in a field
         
    • The last time the festival was held, in 2009, more than 250,000 animals were killed, according to PETA
