Spin, Spin And Spin, Potters In Nepal Go Busy With Tihar On Door Steps
Freshly prepared earthen lamps, used widely during Tihar, the festival of lights by Hindus in Nepal and India, dry in the sun before baking in the courtyard of Pottery Square in Bhaktapur, Nepal, on October 12, 2025. The charkhas and modern machines set beneath the tin spin throughout the day, along with the hands of the potters who make them, because the festival of light, Tihar, approaches. Pottery Square in Bhaktapur Durbar Square attracts a large number of tourists and buyers of pottery items, which are found at comparatively lower prices than in the main market.
