| June 19, 2012 | Dindigul fishing festival attracts huge crowds | | Dindigul: A fishing festival in Tamil Nadu's Dindigul District witnessed
huge participation from neighbouring villages. Villagers from about 25 villages
participated in the festival and enjoyed catching fish along with their family
members and neighbours. The week-long festival fosters a spirit of brotherhood
and a feeling of peace and harmony. "In Nallampatti Rajakulam, the fishing festival
was organised today. After offering prayers, we are given instructions on how
to catch fishes and then, all of us catch fish in this pond. If we get lot of
fish, we will distribute it among our family members and this is a happy event
for us," said Subburaj, a villager. The villagers also believe that by offering
prayers, water resources in several villages of the district would increase and
flourish cultivation in the region. "This festival will improve the cultivation
in the village," said Subburaj, a villager. Fishermen also invite their family
members from the nearby villages for this festival. The villager, who catches
the maximum number of fish, is declared as the winner and awarded a cash prize.
