On the first day of the festival, people worship crows. Every family cooks a delicious meal in the morning. Before they eat, each member of the family puts some food on a plate of leaves and places it outside for the crows to eat. People believe crows are the messenger of the Lord of Death. They worship crows to keep sadness away.
The second day, people worship dogs.They decorate dogs with garlands of flowers around their necks. They give dogs delicious food and put a red tika (a special powder) on their foreheads. They even do this to stray dogs. It is a day to respect all dogs. They pray for the dogs to guard their homes. Dogs with garlands of flower can be seen everywhere.
