Rice Harvest 2062 B.S. (CE2005)

Rice Harvest 2062BS

The fields here in the east of the Kathmandu Valley are teeming with people. Rice harvest, late this year, is in full swing. Literally, for the most important 'machine' is a foot-driven thresher. And from rice comes 'jar', beer-like potion, even children imbibe. Though I don't think this one gets more then mother's milk:

Newari Ama

Laxman proudly poses with the famous thresher - his is a slightly modern model - it runs on household current, and thus could be used on our field:
Laxman's Machine

Happy Harvest!
