Natti

Rice farming is one of the main occupations in South India. The initial preparation of the land (flooding, plowing the field, using manure, sowing the rice seeds in the soil) is done exclusively mostly by men in most places. Seedlings (rice sprouts) are then transplanted in the same field or a different one in a process called 'Natti' in the local language. Women mostly do this work. But every member of a family count and even children also join in during their vacation and learn the craft. (more info)
