Watch: Kashmiri village’s centuries-old annual festival keeps springs clean, helps locals catch fish
Every year in May, people wade through the waters to catch fish and weed the springs in the village of Panzath.
Panzath is a village in Kashmir that keeps a day every year to clean the water bodies. This village has got its name from a mythical 500 springs 'Paanch & haath' - Panzath. People from other villages too join them and clean the springs and they get fishing opportunities as well. pic.twitter.com/R7OnVpRobG
