Recreation and Entertainment
There are many places in Biratnagar to hang out. For example, Dhadhiram complex where you can swim and workout. Especially during Dashain and Tihar people make lingey Pings (a swing made up of three bamboo poles and jute rope). A lot of melas (fairs) are organized at various times of the year where people from all factions of society come to enjoy the rides and swings. Although very few national tournaments are organized here, many regional soccer tournaments can be observed in the Shahid Maidan (stadium grounds). You can watch latest English and Hindi movies in Himalaya Talkies. You can hang out in casinos and dance bars in city central near the traffic Chowk (round about) and jana-andolan Chowk areas. You can just stroll in the local pavement bazars that take place almost every day of the week. The city also has a theatre named Gurukul that regularly stages various dramas and is a major hub for theatrical artists from across the country and nearby places in India. There are many recreational parks and libraries dotted around the city. Recently various Yoga Shivir or centres have been built by public bodies.

Famous quotes containing the word recreation:
“Media mystifications should not obfuscate a simple, perceivable fact; Black teenage girls do not create poverty by having babies. Quite the contrary, they have babies at such a young age precisely because they are poor—because they do not have the opportunity to acquire an education, because meaningful, well-paying jobs and creative forms of recreation are not accessible to them ... because safe, effective forms of contraception are not available to them.”
—Angela Davis (b. 1944)
