Snake boat races are the highlight of the Onam Festival in August or September. The 100-plus feet long snake-shaped boats are occupied by 70 to 100 or more oars men and ladies. The races are accompanied by the rhythm of boat songs at high volume. The history of these races goes back to the 13th century when the kingdoms of the region used to fight each other in boats in the canals. To win one such battle against Kayamkulam, King Devanarayana ordered a famous carpenter to build a better, faster and longer vessel for his army, and snake boats were born. #meancghearth #cghearth #travel #travelphotography #kerala #snakeboat #nehrutrophy #backwatwers #coconutlagoon #nature #artphotography #backwaters #people #culture #festival #sustainabletravel #sustainabletourism #celebration #experience #boatrace #sport
