NEPAL-KATHMANDU-TIHAR FESTIVAL

A Nepalese priest clicks a photo of a cow on the occasion of Gai Tihar (cow festival), the third day of Tihar, at Pashupatinath, Kathmandu, Oct. 23, 2014. In Hinduism, cow signifies prosperity and wealth and people show their gratefulness to the cow by garlanding and feeding the cow with the best grass. "Tihar", the Hindu festival of lights, is celebrated for five days. Each day is dedicated to different religious figures including cow, crow, and dog, which signifies deep relations between human beings, god, and animals. (Xinhua/Pratap Thapa)
