The week in seven photos

Here are some of the photos taken by our photojournalists and reporters this week.

Colourful sadhus make a grand entry into the Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu to the beat of drums on Friday. Hundreds of sadhus from across Nepal and India have arrived for Sunday’s Mahashivaratri, the temple’s biggest annual festival. The temple complex has been lavishly decorated for the celebration dedicated to Lord Shiva. Food and lodging arrangements have also been made for visiting sadhus. Dipen Shrestha/TKP
