Nepalese Hindu women take a ritual bath in the Bagmati River during the Rishi Panchami festival in Kathmandu on September 18, 2015. Rishi Panchami marks the end of the three-day long Teej festival, in which married women fast and pray for the good health of their husbands to Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction, while unmarried women wish for handsome husbands and happy conjugal lives.
