Daily Life In Nepal- Town Painted In Red With Hanging Chilies

An elderly man looks out through a wooden carved window beside a garland of red chilies hung out to dry in Khokana, Lalitpur, Nepal, on August 3, 2025. The ancient town of Khokana has a tradition of weaving red chilies and hanging them out to dry, which paints the town red. This practice is claimed to increase the longevity of the produce as well as preserve the seeds for further cultivation. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
