Little things about Boat Races



Boat Races are the heritage symbol of Kerala culture.In Kerala, during an early 13th-century war between the feudal kingdoms of Kayamkulam and Chembakassery, King Devanarayana of Chembakassery commissioned the construction of a war boat called Chundan Vallam and he tasked a famous carpenter of the day with the responsibility of creating it. Hence, the technical methods for creating these Snake Boats are around 650 years old.Boat Races are mainly conducted on onam festival season.
