In this April 21, 2017 photo, members of the Barahi community assemble the Rato Machindranath Chariot in Lalitpur, Nepal. The Barahis are responsible for repairing the giant wheels, carving the base and erecting the tower of logs for the chariot. The wooden chariot is built to appease the gods in hopes of being blessed with a good rainfall followed by a bountiful harvest. (Photo by Niranjan Shrestha/AP Photo)
