Living God Ganesh walks out from the residence of Living Goddess Kumari after performing rituals during Indrajatra festival as the festival was canceled to control the spread of the coronavirus in Kathmandu, Nepal, Sunday, August 30, 2020. A lockdown was ordered around the eight days when the canceled Indrajatra festival would have been held, and instead, a small ceremony to seek forgiveness from Indra, the Hindu god of rain, was held under government security. Many in this Himalayan nation believe they would anger the gods by shunning the rituals — which would cause catastrophe. (Photo by Niranjan Shrestha/AP Photo)
