Picture of the week

The picture of the lonely fisherman was shot in Loktak. Loktak is a freshwater lake in Manipur and is the largest in Northeast India. It is also called the only 'Floating Lake' in the world thanks to its floating phumdis (heterogeneous masses of vegetation). The lake is a source of livelihood for rural fisherman who strive the whole day to fish in this lake. These fishermen live in the surrounding areas and on phumdis.
