Caption: Date: 1969 Location: Sahartara, Dolpa Description: Two women, using a type of mortar-and-pestle arrangement, pound chinu chamal, to separate grain from the chaf. When the pestle hits the mortar, the woman utters "tiri-pu". The women alternate hits, somewhat the way two pistons alternate going up and down. It also gives a chorus effect of "tiri-pu, tiri-pu, tiri-pu" etc. Keywords: Jim Fisher, Nepal Photo History Project, Peace Corp Photo History, agriculture, pounding, pressing
