Photo feature | Fisherwoman of Hannai: loud, fierce, colored

My first impression of the Harnai fish market is Always chaos. Fish odor, fisherwomain shouting and buffalo vision, and bright colored vision Navori Saris, Chunky Gold Jewelery, and fresh fish piles. I never know which senses of my first follow.

It is also an anarchy that I was tired ever – since I first visited the city in Dapoli in the south of Maharashtra in 2012. Every journey is a discovery. But the photos I keep taking are Fisherwomains, under whose strong leadership the market thrives.

There is an attractive mixture of their symptoms: from their specific dress, bright oranges, dark greens and yellow yellow yellow to functionally tightened around their feet, to fresh. Gajras Of MograRose and Champa In their hair.

Their jewelery reflects the sea with motifs of the sea and other beings. Women’s style marketing has its own unique form; This helps them to attract customers and stands in their regular bustling markets.

The quarrels are common, laughter is soon as follows, and it is a common view that they enjoy a well -worthy ice cream at the end of a long day.

However, what is the most attractive, it is how they continue traditions that are dying rapidly. Especially burning. Fishing communities usually live close to the sea, and their houses are kept together, which leads to a limited place for farming.

Therefore, they barter with women from neighboring villages, who go with seasonal vegetables and fruits baskets. Tendery (Ivy gourd), objrin, mango, cashew, and Jamun,

The daily life in the fish market is full of energy, hard work and enthusiasm. But change is coming. The younger generation is no longer a favor Navori Saris; Therefore, the well -prepared women I see today are all in the 50s and 60s. A jetty is also being constructed, which means that I will remember the buffaloes waiting for the knee patiently in the water, because men load the fish in bull vehicles.

Change is not always bad; This will make life in the market easy for its denis. It will also make for less interesting photos.
