Nehru Trophy Boat Race is one of the significant snake boat races in Kerala. It is coordinated consistently on the second Saturday of August and countless individuals accumulate to see it. Individuals assemble in huge numbers to partake in the race of boats around 100 feet in length, which contend with one another to the tune of old boat melodies. Punnamada Lake (Punnamadakayal) is the setting of this race where the members go up against one another.
The tale of the name of this famous water contest is connected with the excursion of Jawaharlal Nehru in the year 1952. He was so interested by seeing these eminent snake boats (snake boat or chundan vallam) that he, when all is said and done, got into a boat, overlooking his security. Later around the same time he introduced a silver prize as a snake boat representing his time here. Consequently, this race was subsequently named Nehru Trophy Boat Race (Nehru Trophy Boat Race).
In this season, the area is swirling with parades of water celebrations and delightful water boats. From monster chundan vallam (snake boat or snake boat) to little nation boats, they are heavily influenced by talented mariners, who dazzle everybody. It is a workmanship in itself.
