A police dog is offered biscuits after being worshiped by a police officer during the dog festival as part of celebrations of Tihar at Nepal Police Academy in Kathmandu on October 22. Hindus all over Nepal are celebrating the Tihar festival, also called Diwali, during which they worship cows, which are considered a maternal figure, and other animals. Also known as the festival of lights, devotees also worship the goddess of wealth Laxmi by illuminating and decorating their homes using garlands, oil lamps, candles and colourful light bulbs.
