Ram-dao, or Ram dao, are traditional sacrificial swords used in the Hindu ritual sacrifice of animals. The large, curved blade is designed to decapitate a sacrificial animal in a single stroke. Ram-daos are used in a hacking swing, with the added weight on the curved end being intended for decapitations. The swords hilt and blade were often adorned with precious stones and metals. Despite the similar sounding names, this weapon is distinct from both the Chinese Dao and the Naga Dao swords which were traditionally used as slashing weapons.
