Kashmiri fishermen holding harpoons, covered under blankets, wait in their boats to catch fish in the partially frozen Anchar lake on December 28, 2016 in Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian administered Kashmir, India. A unique technique employed for fishermen in Kashmir to catch fish in Anchar lake in Kashmir is Tchay-e- gard shikar (shadow Fishing). In this technique the fisherman camouflage their presence by creating a safe refuge for the fish by forming refuge of reeds over them. While other create shock waves in the lake by beating the water, forcing them to take refuge under these covers on to be stricken by harpoons. (Photo by Yawar Nazir/ Nur Photo)
