In this April 21, 2017, photo, members of the Barahi community skillfully construct the 15-meter (48-foot) tall Rato Machindranath Chariot without safety harnesses in Lalitpur, Nepal. If a chariot falls during the annual race which takes place in Kathmandu, it is seen as a bad omen for the Himalayan nation. The last chariot crash was just weeks after the then king seized absolute power and in the months that followed Nepal was in turmoil with political unrest, escalating communist insurgency and a dwindling economy. This year workers hope for a clean race and good times ahead for the country. (AP Photo/Niranjan Shrestha)

In this April 30, 2017, photo, devotees fill the streets in the Rato Machindranath Chariot festival in Lalitpur, Nepal. Lines of followers pull on two thick ropes to move the massive chariot along the narrow roads of Patan. With no steering or brakes, men throw wooden blocks under the wheels to turn or stop it.
