Tharu women fishing in a river in Kanchanpur district on Tuesday.

Engaging in the age-old tradition of fishing, Tharu women skillfully utilize handmade nets to secure their catch. The majority of the fish they haul is dedicated to nourishing their households, playing a crucial role as a primary source of protein.
