In this April 20, 2017, photo, a man soaks cane in hot water cauldrons to make it flexible for use in the construction of the Rato Machindranath Chariot in Lalitpur, Nepal. The wooden chariot is built to appease the gods in hopes of being blessed with good rainfall followed by a bountiful harvest. The Rato Machindra festival that centers on the chariot in the capital Kathmandu, preludes the monsoon season in Nepal where majority of the population still depend on farming for livelihood.
