The annual Gai Jatra festival, which dates back to the 17th century, pays respects to those who have died in the past year, with families staging colourful processions through town centres. These are traditionally led by a cow or by young men dressed with headgear depicting a cow. (Photo by Prakash Mathema/AFP Photo)
