As the great and longest festival of Nepalese people, Dasain, is approaching, Khasi/sheep/chiggers have been brought from Himalayan and hilly regions to the Khasi market in Kathmandu Valley. Due to the fact that most of the consumption is during Dasain, farmers and traders have started bringing Khasi/Sheep/Changra from rural areas to urban areas for sale. Because sheep meat has been bought and sold since Ghatasthapana, it has been imported into Kathmandu in different groups. A herd of Changra sheep brought to Khasi market in Kalanki.
