A group of Newari men wearing traditional Dhaka Topi hats slaughter a goat at the entrance to a local shrine as part of a ritual offering to please the deities during a Bratabandha ceremony of a family member in Bhaktapur. The ritual, known in Newari as Ketapuja, is a coming of age ceremony for boys before they become teenagers.
