Its duration varies widely, depending on astronomical calculations. The 32-foot-tall chariot is constructed annually by the Newar community, who use wooden beams and make precise adjustments to the shrine sanctum without using a single nail. It takes the community about a week to build the chariot, which is then given a final touch-up with decorations before Lord Machhindranath is enshrined in it. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
