for those who do not know, daishan is the festival where they ritually slaughter buffalo with a khukuri, usually one of the larger dedicated ones. they use the larger ones as they must ensure they decapitate the animal in one blow. if they do not, it is a BAD omen for the coming year, and the person who failed is shunned for the coming year.
