Spin, Spin And Spin, Potters In Nepal Go Busy With Tihar On Door Steps
A Nepali potter dips the freshly baked earthen lamps, locally called ''Pala,'' before drying them in the sun to make them ready for final use for Tihar, the festival of lights observed by Hindus across Nepal and India, in the pottery square of 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. The Pottery Square of Bhaktapur Durbar Square attracts a large number of tourists as well as buyers of pottery items, which are found at comparatively lower prices than in the main market.
