The Week in Pictures for the week September 15-21, 2019.

KATHMANDU, Oct 4: Air borne kites and the intense aerial battles have been the focal leisure activity during Dashain for ages, until recently.

Kites are also believed to send ‘thank-you messages’ to the celestial deities for the abundant rain during monsoon.
