KATHMANDU, Oct. 11 (Xinhua) -- People in Nepal's capital Kathmandu celebrated the Hadigaun festival, which marks the end of Nepalese's biggest festival -- the Dashain.

A signature celebration of Hadigaun is that priests gather and rotate saucer-shaped Chariots in a rally. The chariots often consist of an idol on top and a pinnacle at the bottom.
