In Bhaktapur, Nepal, Nepalese Hindu men carried lit oil lamps on their heads, shoulders, and legs as part of the Dashain festival.
The men performed this ritual for two to three hours as a prayer for their families’ well-being and the fulfillment of their wishes. Dashain celebrates the victory of the Hindu goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura, representing the triumph of good over evil, on the tenth and main day of the festival, Vijaya Dashami.
