Nehru Trophy Boat Race in Kerala

The Nehru Trophy Boat Race is conducted on the Punnamda Lake on the second Saturday of August every year. People gather in large numbers to watch nearly 100 ft long boats compete against each other to the tune of old boat songs. On the day of this fiercely fought boat race, the tranquil lakefront is transformed into a sea of humanity with an estimated two lakh people, including tourists from abroad for watching it. During this season the area comes to life with ceremonial water processions and beautiful water floats. From the huge chundan valloms (snake boats) to small country rafts, the waters are under the control of the expert oarsmen who put on a show that you can never forget. It is an art form in itself.
