Petti Para

             In the Kuttanad region, during the Masons heavy rains flood the fields. By September, indigenously designed 50- HP pump set empty them, throwing the water back in to the lake. Called Petti Para, these farms are crafted mainly from wood, except for a large bore steel cylinder and impellor encased in wood. Netting, in the box like delivery end, snare fish jettisoned along with the water.
