Description

NEPAL, Patan: Hindu and Buddhist devotees celebrate the festival of Rato Machindranath in Patan, Nepal on September 22, 2015. The festival takes place each April, but was delayed this year after a devastating earthquake damaged the chariot that devotees pull through the area in the hope of securing a good harvest.
