Kerala, the god’s own country, is famous for various cultural and traditional practices. One such custom is the “Snake Boat Race”. The Vallam Kali held in the Punnamada Lake near Alappuzha,Kerala, India. Chundan Vallam kali literally means Snake boat play/game, is one of the popular events of the competition. The 100–120 foot long canoes that are made of a wood locally called “Aanjili thadi” carrying 90- 110 rowers, move like snakes through the channels. The Chundan Vallam also has the record as “the biggest water vessel used for sports purpose.”
