The dying tradition of Sri Lankan

#hiddengems Visiting the dying tradition of Sri Lankan stilt fishing was a profound experience, immersing me in the rich tapestry of this unique culture. As I observed fishermen perched on slender stilts, delicately balancing above the water, I couldn't help but marvel at the centuries-old technique that now faces the threat of extinction. The rhythmic dance between man and sea unveiled a deep connection to nature and a way of life at risk. Conversations with the fishermen revealed the challenges they face—diminishing fish stocks and changing coastal dynamics. Yet, amidst the struggle, their resilience and passion for preserving this art form echoed a poignant reminder of the importance of safeguarding cultural heritage in the face of modernity's relentless march.
