Chakara – shoals of fishes near the shore

The phenomenon of Chakara, seen in the coastal waters of Kerala, has still not been given a satisfactory scientific explanation. A large number of fishes appear near the sea surface close to the shore as a result of mud bank formation. It is repeated every year in the monsoon season usually during June or July. Chakara, celebrated by the fisher folk of Kerala, has a huge impact on the life of the fishing community and therefore, also plays a vital role in the shaping of the culture of Kerala.
