Event Description : IGNCA Film Circle presents 'Boatmen of Kashmir' film screening.
Kashmir- that blossomed out of the legendary primeval lake Satiar is still a land replete with water bodies, lakes, rivers streams, springs etc. No exaggeration, if it is called a ‘water civilization’. The community that is directly involved in vocations connected with water-bodies is called Heenz. They have typical ethnic characteristics and call themselves the descendents of Prophet Noah.
Within this community there are divisions, based on their typical vocation.
i) Demb-Heenz- grow vegetables and sell these.
ii) Geer-Heenz – collect water chestnuts.
iii) Gaadi –Heenz – the fishermen – who catch fish and trade in these.
iv) Kar-naav-Heenz-they grow a special type of willow, and use it for making
baskets etc.
v) Mata-Heenz – deal in timber.
Not unexpectedly, Kashmiris have excelled in the craft of making boats- made from pine wood – generally Deodar. There are different types of boats.
i) Doonga – a dwelling place, competent in every aspect.
ii) Bahasth – a flat - bottomed large boat used for carrying heavy loads like timber
iii) Shikara –the comfortable boat used for going across the river or making a round of the lake.
iv) Khoch – a roofless used for carrying vegetables & flowers.
v) Dembi-naav – small boat, used for traveling in swamps
vi) Houseboat – known for its grandeur, exuberance and comfort – a tourist attraction. It is an ‘epitome’ of Kashmir culture as it presents a slice of Kashmir culture with its carvings, ‘Khatumband’ roof, walnut furniture, Papier Machine goods etc.
