At the height of the ceremony, temple assistants slit the throats of a duck,

chicken, lamb, goat and buffalo before the king and queen in an ancient

tradition of offerings to Kali, the Hindu goddess of death and destruction.

 

As blood flowed, the animals were decapitated in front of a fearsome Kali

statue. Their livers were cut out and placed in a small container that the

king took back to the palace.

 

Seen by supporters as a reincarnation of the Hindu protector Vishnu, the

king's fall from god-king to sidelined monarch has been spectacular.
