In this Friday, Feb. 10, 2017 photo, a Nepalese Prajapati potter carries a basket filled with clay to make into clay pots in the ancient Nepali town of Thimi. For generations, the residents of Thimi supplied the rest of the Himalayan country everything from tiny clay lamps used in temples to massive grain storage jars. As more young people leave town for better paying jobs in other parts of Nepal or abroad, fewer families have to eke out an income from the relatively low-returns business of clay pottery. What has kept the tradition alive, for now, is the flow of tourists who buy artistic clay pots as souvenirs, and also because clay pots are still used in certain Hindu and Buddhist rituals.
