People having fun with a swing (Ping) along the banks of the Vishnumati River in Kathmandu
Children playing with a Dashain swing near a village along the road from Nagarkot to Sankhu in Kathmandu valley.
Bamboo swings are constructed in many parts of Nepal as a way of celebration. They are called ‘ping’ in Nepali.
A ping will be constructed a week before Ghatasthapana and dismantled after the festival of Tihar. They are especially famous with children, but adults are also seen playing on the swings.
