Wikipedia
In India ritual of animal sacrifice is practised in many villages before local deities.
For instance, Kandhen Budhi is the reigning deity of Kantamal in Boudh district of Orissa, India.
She is the presiding deity of Kandha people of this area.
She is represented in the natural form of stone under a tree on the bank of the river Tel.
Every year, animals like goat and fowl are sacrificed before the deity on the occasion of her annual Yatra / Jatra ( festival ) held in the month of Aswina ( September – October ).
The main attraction of Kandhen Budhi Yatra is Ghusuri Puja.
Ghusuri means pig, which is sacrificed once in every three years.
Kandhen Budhi is also worshipped at Lather village under Mohangiri GP in Kalahandi district of Orissa, India ( Pasayat, 2009: 20-24 ).
