In this April 20, 2017, photo, members of the Chitrakar team of artists carry the statue of Rato Machindranath for painting and repairs in Machindra Bahal in Lalitpur, Nepal. The wide-eyed statue of Machindranath is made from red-painted clay, decorated with gold ornaments and kept under lock and key for months until it is brought out for the Rato Machindranath festival. The harvest festival, that preludes the monsoon season in Nepal, centers on a five-story high chariot that carries the deity in the capital Kathmandu. (AP Photo/Niranjan Shrestha)
