Description: Woman, girls, and kids dressed up and enjoying turns on the swing (Linge Ping) made of long bamboo poles and grass rope. This Linge Ping was set up as part of the traditional celebration of the festival of Dashain. Along with just swinging for fun, it is an old belief that getting off the ground once a year, leaving the earth behind, is good for the soul and salvation. The location is not far from the main street of the upper bazaar in Pokhara.
