Where rice takes root

Feet in the mud, hands full of seedlings and rows slowly taking shape. Rice transplanting is one of those jobs that makes you appreciate just how much work sits behind something as ordinary as a bowl of rice. In Chekadi village, Wayanad, the fields come alive with this seasonal rhythm - wet earth, green shoots and people working steadily together. Come when the fields are being planted, and you can be part of that rhythm too - stepping into the mud, getting your hands dirty and experiencing a little of Wayanad’s farming life for yourself.
