The fishing net, known as \“jal\“ in Hindi, is a traditional tool widely used in India for catching fish in rivers, lakes, and coastal areas. It is typically made from natural fibers like cotton or synthetic materials such as nylon, designed with mesh patterns to trap fish while allowing water to pass through.
In local Indian markets, fishing nets are handcrafted by artisans using age-old techniques, often dyed with natural colors to blend with water environments. These nets are essential for the livelihoods of many fishing communities, supporting sustainable practices and cultural heritage. |
