Nepali swing (ping)

Standing while swinging is more common than sitting.

The main components are four shafts of bamboo for the frame and sturdy lengths of natural rope made from bangera (jute). The bamboo is simply set in holes in the ground and bent inward and tied securely at the apex with rope. The seat is most often just a loop of rope, or a simple wooden board.

Pings are normally erected in the week before Gatas Thapana, the September day when the planting of jamara grass marks the beginning of the 15-day Dashain period. They are normally dismantled just after the Tihar holiday, an important five-day festival that starts approximately two weeks after Dashain.
