KATHMANDU (Reuters) - A 23-year-old Nepali man cut off his right hand after morning prayers and offered it to Kali, the Hindu goddess of power, the Annapurna Post local daily said on Wednesday.

Rajesh Tajpuria, who runs a drug store in the southeastern town of Rangeli, is undergoing treatment at a hospital, it said.

More than 80 percent of Nepal's 26 million people are Hindus who frequently sacrifice animals such as goats, buffaloes and roosters in temples.

Exactly!I highly doubt the goddess herself asked him to do this, it was his choice and it,s a weird one! But then when it comes to fanatics very little makes any sense at all, if anything!

"My goddess needs to know how much I love her,,,what should I do....wait, I KNOW! I'll cut off my hand! She'll love that and know how much I love her."

I'm sure that is just what she needs, a bunch of hands hanging around.
