After 40 years of traditional Charkheping

What you should know

Tara Bahadur Rana of Tansen Municipality-8, Chapa, using the skills that he saw 40 years ago, this year has put a sharp ping in Chapa Deurali. Rana, who accompanied the new generation youth of the village, said that after a week of hard work, Charkhe Ping was ready.

As wood was not found to be placed everywhere, iron was mixed. "Remembering the skills he saw, Charke Ping was made this year to teach the new generation," he said.  Two large wooden poles are needed to make a

ping. A lot of wood is needed for its arms, wings, planks, and balls. Rana said that in place of the ball, iron and bearings were placed so that it would be easy to rotate, and he also practiced new exercises. "Our ancestors used to keep such loud pings in toltol," he said, "the present generation does not even know about it. That's why we have built it using the skills of going. It may not be as good as expected, but it has become.' 

Lately, wood cannot be cut in the forest. It is difficult to get permission to cut wood even in private forests because wood is expensive. is Tushar Rana, a local youth of Tansen Municipality-8, Chapa Deurali, said that since it is difficult to make this ping, nowadays he has stopped keeping Charkhe ping. 

According to Pakapusta, there was plenty of wood cut in the forest before. There was also a tradition of giving wood when the villagers asked to keep the firewood. Now that all are community forests, they cannot cut wood indiscriminately. On the other hand, there has been an exodus of young people recently. There are no young people in rural areas. Wood stored in the previous year is stolen. Rana said that he stopped keeping Charkhe Ping for such reasons. 

Foxingkot, Jalpa, Galdha, Jamire, Bahadurpur, Mityal, Rahwas and other places such pings can be seen only. In the headquarters and surrounding villages, many people have the experience of not even seeing such pings for the last four decades. Kamal Bahadur Rana of Tansen Municipality-8, Chapa Deurali said that some of the present generation do not know how this ping is made. 

Charkhe ping made of wood used to be a very popular game. During Dasai, the youth of the village used to make such ping together. Locals say that there is a tradition of playing ping, saying that those who walk to apply tika on Dasain should leave the land for a day, but now its importance is losing.
