Description
The #AranmulaBoatRace the oldest river boat festival in Kerala, the south western State of India is held during Onam (August–September). It takes place at Aranmula, near a temple in Pathanamthitta district of Kerala State. Its more of a ritual than a race event. The snake boats move in pairs to the rhythm of full-throated singing and shouting watched by an exciting crowd. In 1972, snake boat races were also added to the program of the festival. Thousands of people gather on the banks of the river Pampa to watch the snake boat races. In 2019 Fifty Two snake boats or #Palliyodams had participated in the festival. The oarsmen sing traditional boat songs #Vanchippattu and wear white mundu and turbans. The golden lace at the head of the boat, the flag and the ornamental umbrella at the center make it a show of pageantry too.. More details can be found here http://www.aranmulavallamkali.com/
