Slavery and religion

Dasai is a Sanskrit word found in ancient Indian texts such as the Rigveda, Pali canon, and the Arthashastra., The Sanskrit term Dasa (or Das) generally translates to "servant," "devotee," or "votary," often indicating a person engaged in selfless service or a "slave of God" in spiritual contexts. It is primarily used in religious and cultural contexts to signify humility, servitude, and devotion.

Deuki is an ancient custom practiced in the far western regions of Nepal where a young girl is offered to the local temple. The practice is in decline.
