Description
Running into a thigh-deep muddy lake, villagers in eastern Cambodia use bamboo baskets and nets to scoop up their catch as part of a traditional fishing ceremony.
Sporting straw hats and cotton checkered scarves to shield themselves from the blazing sun, hundreds of children and adults cheer as they net freshwater catfish and snakefish in Boeung Kroam lake, about 250 kilometres (155 miles) from Phnom Penh.
The annual ceremony, back after a two-year pandemic hiatus, is held after the rice harvest and participants are only allowed to use traditional tools such as woven baskets and nets, Tbong Khmum province governor Cheam Chan Sophorn explained. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
