During the winter season, the water in rivers gets dried up and mosses begin to pop up from underneath. People from the rural areas, who rely on fishing for their daily wages, tend to catch fish in this mossy river. They start very early in the morning, before any other boatman began catching fish at a bulk level and then they sell their catch in the local market to earn a daily wage. They even fish in groups, using different kinds of fishing nets in various processes, to catch a large number of fish in one go. Afterwards, they sell the entire catch and divide the wages equally among them.
