653 Gruesome ritual performed annually in Tiruchirappalli,India
This ritual occurs during a festival called "Kutti Kudi" .
According to the organisers, around 1,200 goats are sacrificed every year during this festival ,which is held in Tiruchirappalli,Tamil Nadu.
While animal sacrifice is,according to some sources, a polluting task entrusted to Untouchables,in this case, the man involved is an upper-caste priest : The Untouchables slash the goat's throat and the priest bites into the wound and drinks blood to appease the Goddess Kuzhumayee Amman.
Westerners (but not only) watching these rituals feel shocked and repelled ,as they witness a frantic and violent religiosity that had once been theirs, but which they have long forgotten.
