These traditional swings are generally erected during the Dashain festival and then disassembled after some weeks.

Linge Ping (Nepali: लिङ्गे पिङ) is a traditional swing constructed during the festival of Dashain mainly in Nepal. The shape of the swing is in the shape of Shiva Linga, hence the name. 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.[3]
