After the blessings, people eat a variety of meat and vegetable curries. Chickens, pigs, goats and sometimes sheep are sacrificed in large numbers at Dasain. Most families sacrifice 5 chickens, one to each of the five major gods. If a son has been born into the family in the past year, a goat has to be slaughtered in celebration.

Here Gita is carrying Sel Roti and Fini Roti, fried breads which can be made in advance of the festival and are commonly eaten at Dashain.
