The people of Kerala in India's southwest are famed for turning fish into spicy feasts fit for gods, but last week the heavens turned provider as fish rained down on the village of Manna.
When the clouds broke last Thursday, villagers said they saw small, pencil-thin live fish falling from the sky.
"Initially no one noticed it. But soon, we saw some slushy objects on the ground and noticed some slight movement," said Abubaker, a local shop owner.
"I alone collected 30 ice-cold fish of which many died," said the resident of Manna, 20 km (12 miles) from Kannur, in the north of the state.
Locals said the fish looked like parals, a common freshwater fish found in lakes and rivers.
