Team of fishermen working one of the very few remaining ancient 'Chinese' fishing nets (Cheena Vala of Kochi) operating on an unusual shore operated cantilever lift principle. Not many fish are now caught in these nets, but, having become a popular tourist attraction, the hundreds of daily visitors are becoming a major source of income for the locals and may thereby guarantee the survival of the nets, if only as quaint curiosities.
