The Makran coast and Sindh\“s coastal regions have fishing practices passed down through generations. Traditional wooden boats called \“houris\“ are still used by local fishermen.
Pakistani fishing communities have unique cultural practices. Fishermen often begin their day with prayers for safety and good catch. There are traditional songs and folklore associated with fishing that are part of the cultural heritage.
