... that on this day Nepali people worship dogs (pictured) to please Yama?
- ALT1:... that on this day on the occasion of the festival of dogs (pictured) people from Nepal offer them various foods including meat, milk, eggs, and dog food?

Starting review, will return shortly. Looks promising! Yakikaki (talk) 14:40, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
Long enough, new enough and within policy. The text could use some polishing but there are no obstacles for a DYK. Both hooks are good, and supported by inline citations. QPQ has been done. The picture is great and has proper licensing. This should be good to go, and should be saved for 14 November just as the nominator suggests. Yakikaki (talk) 14:50, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this and first edited the article. I added some tags to clarify information – there is nothing in the BBC source about it being the second largest festival, and I'm also wondering what the first largest festival is? Please add a source for it. The first hook is better than ALT1, which says too much, but the way ALT0 is worded, it sounds like ... that nowadays Nepali people worship dogs to please Yama? Perhaps it should be worded ... that on this day ...? Yoninah (talk) 20:29, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
