Glimpses of how dogs are worshipped in two contrasting worlds, Nepal and Japan.<\/p>\n

Kukur Tihar<\/em> is the annual day of dogs in Nepal.<\/p>\n

On this day, dogs — regarded as guardians and messengers of Yama — are worshipped by offering garlands, flowers, vermilion powder and bread.<\/p>\n

The Central Police Dog Training School in Kathmandu even conferred dogs with medals for their contributions to security and help in solving the cases.<\/p>\n

Shichi-Go-San<\/em> in Japan is performed for children aged 3, 5 and 7 who visit a Shinto shrine along with their parents to thank the Gods for their growth and to pray for bright future.<\/p>\n

The Japanese specially perform Shichi-Go-San<\/em> for their pet dogs as well at the Zama shrine in Zama, Kanagawa prefecture.<\/p>\n

In Japanese, Shichi-go-san<\/em> means seven, five, and three.<\/p>\n
