Construction
Construction
It is believed that one must leave the ground once a year by riding the swing in the Dashain festival. During Dashain, multiple fairs are held and Linge Ping, and wooden Ferris wheels (Pirke Ping) are constructed.
The swing is built with four bamboos connected together at the top and jute rope is used to make the hanging portion of swing. It is ridden alone or by two persons in sitting or standing position. The momentum is gained initially by the external force but later the rider pushes themselves by changing their position to gain elevation. The tradition of constructing the swing is reducing recently due to lack of interest in young generation and lack of space in urban areas.
