Usually popular in the Newari Culture, "Kharpan" is used to carry things from one place to another be it for selling, transfer of goods or just to ease carrying load!!! It is still used in ethnic Newar communities like in Bhaktapur, Kirtipur , Panauti etc. It is almost like the sign Libra with two baskets on each side and a bamboo that is kept on the shoulder for balance. It is usually used for short distance transfer and basically by the farmers.
