Fishing frames, known locally as \“Machli Pakarnay Ka Jhalar\“, hold significant cultural importance in Pakistan\“s coastal communities. These traditional fishing structures are commonly found along the Sindh and Balochistan coastlines, where they have been used for generations by local fishermen.
The construction of fishing frames involves wooden poles and nets arranged in specific patterns that vary from region to region. In Karachi\“s fishing villages, these frames are typically set up during specific tidal cycles to maximize catch. The knowledge of when and how to deploy these frames is passed down through families, making it an integral part of cultural heritage.
Many coastal communities organize annual fishing festivals where skilled fishermen demonstrate traditional frame fishing techniques. These events often include cultural performances, traditional music, and local cuisine, celebrating the deep connection between fishing practices and Pakistani coastal culture. |
