In this April 21, 2017, photo, a Hindu woman performs ritual prayers in front of wheels that will be assembled for the Rato Machindranath Chariot in Lalitpur, Nepal. The chariot built every year is 15-meter (48-foot) tall and based on a chassis that is only as wide as a small truck. The chariot rides high over the heads of people as it sits on four giant wooden wheels decorated with painted eyes. 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)
