KATHMANDU: Dashain’s specialties and entertainment include swing. Among them is the Linge Ping (traditional swing). Playing swing is both enjoyable and beneficial to one’s health. That is why it is said that you should leave the ground once in Dashain.

When Dashain arrives, the traditional swing-making frenzy in the villages begins. The joy of Dussehra enters the village with the beginning of swinging in open and high places. Playing swing is enjoyable not only for children and the young but also for the elderly.

However, with the passage of time, the traditional swing can now be seen only infrequently. Playing swing is also beneficial to one’s health.

To play linge ping, you must stand up and sit down. This is a good stomach exercise.
