In pictures: People swinging and flying kites in Kathmandu

Kathmandu, October 9 — With the start of Dashain, people are busy on swings and flying kites. In the hills around Kathmandu, people are enjoying the swings.

According to the belief that one must leave the earth during Dashain, people often climb the hills in Kathmandu to play on swings.

Similarly, it is a tradition to fly kites to pay homage to Indra, the rain god, as monsoon comes to an end and rain stops with the beginning of Dashain.
