Devotees sit aside of a road in front of their houses to watch the celebrations of the Rato (Red) Machindranath Chariot festival after the government imposed ban on public gatherings as preventive measure against the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, in Lalitpur, on the outskirts of Kathmandu on September 6, 2020. The centuries-old procession was supposed to begin at the end of April but was delayed when a nationwide coronavirus lockdown was imposed on March 24. Although restrictions were eased in July, curbs were imposed again on August 20 as coronavirus cases surged. Only essential services are allowed on the streets. (Photo by Prakash Mathema/AFP Photo)
