The festival is celebrated mainly by the Newar community in the Kathmandu Valley to commemorate their family members who have passed away in the past year. Children participating in the procession often dress as cows, which is believed to be a holy animal to assist departed souls to reach heaven. (Photo by Sulav Shrestha/Xinhua)
