PERIYAR LAKE FRESH WATER FISH
Kumily is a long way
from the sea so the
salty catch looks very
tired by time it arrives.
Happily the Periyar lake
is teaming with these
aquatics, only tribal
peoples are permitted
to net them as the
water body lies within
the national park.
Known as svarnnam
meen (gold fish) they
taste delicious.
