Nepalese Hindu women, dressed in red, dance after paying homage to Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction as they celebrate the Teej festival at the Pashupatinath temple area in Kathmandu on August 28, 2014. The three-day long Teej festival, celebrated by Hindu women in Nepal and some parts of India, is observed with married women fasting during the day and praying for long lives for their husbands, while unmarried women wish for handsome husbands and happy conjugal lives.
