A villager collects seeds from Giant Water Lilies commonly known as Makhana (Eueyale Ferox) in the Deepor Beel Bird Sanctuary in Guwahati city, northeast India on June 6. Puffed seeds of the Giant water lily are a delicacy in this region and villagers sell the seeds of the Giant water lily in the local markets by destroying the plants. This plant, once seen in all the wetlands of the northeast during this season, now is seen only in few wetlands of the region due to the large scale consumption of its seeds.
