Yeah I saw that video just now. I think it's a hoax, mainly because there is no tradition of human sacrifice in the name of Shiva in India. Also that "ritual" is looks like it's designed to appeal to a Western audience: All elements are picked from Western culture. An Indian ritual would look very, very different. Examples: Cloaks aren't worn in India. The rituals in the Sanskrit texts are very complicated and take very long. The worship would also be offered to a Shiva Linga and never a Shiva statue etc.

Indians are largely vegetarian for religious reasons, and in fact, it is considered a transgression to offer anything other than lacto-vegetarian food to Shiva. You can verify this with any Hindu.
