Chinese Fishing Nets, Kochi

This was taken at Fort Cochin, and depicts the Chinese fishing nets (Cheena Vala). These contraptions are fashioned in a way, wherein the nets are dipped in the water for sometime, and then pulled up by the combined efforts of six to eight men. At sunset, the setting is perfect to get a few neat pictures of the locale, as I did that evening.

    1. No one knows exactly. It is believed they were introduced first by the traders who learnt the technique from China; it might have been the Portuguese also!
