The Cantilevered Icons of Fort Kochi The Chinese fishing nets (cheena vala) of Fort Kochi, Kerala, India, are large shore-operated cantilevered lift nets, traditionally said to have been introduced by traders from the court of Kublai Khan around the 14th century. Lining the Fort Kochi waterfront at the harbour mouth, they are operated by teams using counterweights and remain the defining image of the spice port.
