Linge Ping

Linge Ping (Nepali: लिङ्गे पिङ) is a traditional swing constructed during the festival of Dashain mainly in Nepal.

It is believed that one must leave the ground once a year by riding the swing in the Dashain festival.

[1][2] During Dashain, multiple fairs are held and Linge Ping, and wooden Ferris wheels (Pirke Ping) are constructed.

It is ridden alone or by two persons in sitting or standing position.

The tradition of constructing the swing is reducing recently due to lack of interest in young generation[4] and lack of space in urban areas.
