Nepal worships these 7 animals every year, with special festivals for most

In Nepal, different aspects of nature are worshipped along with gods and deities. One of such parts of nature highly valued in Nepal is animals. There are many festivals dedicated to the worship of different animals, birds and insects.

They are worshipped either as vahana (the vehicle) of any god or goddess or as the reincarnation/avatar of gods and goddesses. Plus, the support they add to making people’s lives easier is also valued.
