Gaindakot Municipality Ward 2 in Nawalparasi (Bardaghat-Susta East) has decided to provide financial support to all Tole Bikas Sansthas in the ward to install traditional lingey ping swings during Dashain, according to a report from Nawalparasi on October 15, 2026. The ward says the support is intended to help preserve the custom of putting up the swings during the festival.
Support for ward-wide installations
The decision covers all Tole Bikas Sansthas in Gaindakot-2, extending the planned support across the ward rather than limiting it to a single locality. These community organizations are the recipients named in the decision, and the funding is intended to help them install lingey ping for Dashain.
The ward’s stated purpose is cultural preservation. By providing financial assistance for the installations, it aims to support the continuation of a traditional festival practice. The decision links public support with the effort to maintain the custom within the ward.
The report does not specify the total budget, the amount to be provided to each organization, or when the funds will be distributed. It also does not detail how the organizations will arrange the installations or whether additional conditions will apply. The information available confirms the decision to provide support and its coverage of all Tole Bikas Sansthas in the ward.
A tradition tied to Dashain
Lingey ping are traditional swings put up during Dashain. The ward’s decision focuses on helping local organizations install them during the festival, making the custom the central reason for the planned financial assistance.
The measure is directed at community groups rather than being described as a direct payment to individuals. Each Tole Bikas Sanstha in the ward is included in the stated plan, giving the organizations a role in putting the swings in place. The report does not provide further details about how many swings are expected or where they will be installed.
The decision offers institutional support for keeping the practice visible during Dashain in Gaindakot-2. Its stated aim is to preserve the tradition, while the practical details of the funding and installation remain unspecified in the available report.
