A person dressed as an Ekeko, the God of prosperity, is covered in fake money on the opening day of the annual Alasita Fair, where the Ekeko is its central figure in El Alto, Bolivia, Tuesday, January 24, 2023. People buy tiny replicas of things they aspire to acquire during the year, like homes, cars and wealth. The Aymara word “Alasita“ means “buy me”. (Photo by Juan Karita/AP Photo)
