Untitled, Rabik Upadhayay (Nepal, Winner). Youths jostle to drink alcohol as part of a cultural practice during the Indra Jatra Festival in Kathmandu, Nepal. During the week-long celebration a statue of Swet Bhairab is unveiled and alcohol is served through an extended brass pipe coming from the idol’s mouth. It is a crazy experience, even for spectators, with many participants getting injured every year. (Photo by Rabik Upadhayay/Sony World Photography)
