Nepalese Hindu women worship the Saptarishi during the Rishi Panchami festival at the bank of the Bagmati River in Kathmandu, Nepal, Sept. 10, 2013. Rishi Panchami marks the end of the three-day long Teej festival, in which married women fast and pray for health of their husbands to Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction, while unmarried women wish for handsome husbands and happy conjugal lives.
