Thus the age old tradition of Buffalo sacrifice at Durga Bari temple on Thursday marked the celebration of Maha Navami-the last day of the Durga Puja. The innocent Buffalo killing on temple premises is considered as the holi practice of 'sacrifice'. Same cruetlty followed in Christianity and Islam where mute animals are killed in the name of 'sacrifice'.On Maha Navami Goddess Durga is worshipped as Mahisasuramardini which means the Annihilator of the Buffalo Demon. It is believed that on Maha Navami day Durga killed the demon Mahishasura.
Although 21st Century has come, but Educated people over-signifying the spiritual believes keep faith on such practices and taking that opportunity a section of people doing business for decades.
