That is the first thought that comes to mind when I see this image. The light, the setting and the expression on the fishermans face - all hold a very sacred quality for me.
The depths of the Ashtamudi Lake are rich in mussels and the local fishermen row out in their little wooden boats (vanjis) and dive to the bottom to collect them. The mussels are a local delicacy and fetch a mighty price according to our boatsman.
A boat full of mussels, this fisherman is either winding up for the day or rowing to a different spot.....
