A Hindu devotee walks toward the Pashupatinath Temple to offer prayers to Lord Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction, in Sundarijal, on the outskirts of Kathmandu, Nepal, on Monday. According to the Nepali Hindu calendar, the fifth month, called Shravan, is considered the holiest month of the year, with each Monday of the month known as Shravan Somvar when worshippers offer prayers for a happy and prosperous life. Shravan will end in the third week of August. Photo: AFP
