Drachen am Straßenrand
Im Herbst feiert ganz Nepal das Dharsein-Fest. Für die Kinder bedeutet das: Drachensteigen lassen. Überall kann man dann die aus buntem Seidenpapier und gespaltetem Bambus handgefertigten Drachen kaufen, sowie Spindeln mit ausreichend Schnur, um die tanzenden Schmuckstücke hochsteigen zu lassen.
Kids flying kites along the street out of Katmandu Valley. It was the time of the annual Dharsein festival in Nepal which is traditionally greeted by children flying these handmade kites. You could see them literally everywhere, flying from rooftops or here, from the side of the road. While handmade, these kites are comparably cheap, so loosing one isn’t to much of bad luck. What’s pricey are the spindles at about 20 times the amount you’d have to give for a kite.
