Spin, Spin And Spin, Potters In Nepal Go Busy With Tihar On Door Steps
A Nepali porter dries freshly baked and mud-soaked earthen lamps, locally called ''Pala,'' as they get ready for final use during 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 keep spinning 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.
