    Though there are races for different boat types such as Churulans, Iruttukuthis, Veppu etc it is the 100 feet long, famed hundred seater Navy boats of yore, the Chundanvalloms or snake boats who hold pride of place in the event.

    Legend has it that 400 years ago, the rulers of certain fiefdoms of Chempakasseri, Thekkumkoor Vadakkumkoor etc were at loggerheads with each other; The Raja of Chempakasseri who always ended up on the losing side because of his heavy & cumbersome navy, ordered his chief architect to come up with new designs.

    He responded with a sleek, eel like 100 seater which combine swiftness, lightness and maneuverability. The Raja never lost a battle after that. And the Chundans have reigned supreme over the backwaters since then.
    Participating in the Boat Race is a matter of pride for every Kuttanadite and they start preparations long months in advance.

    Over a 100 of the most athletic, well-built young men are selected to man each boat. The races are so sacred, they take a vow of celibacy & abstinence and practice for hours on end together to be in perfect synchronization . It is said that if even one oarsman dips his paddle wrong once, the boat will lose the race.

    The 57th Nehru Trophy Boat race will feature 17 Chundans, Veppu - 8 in category A & 5 in Category B, Iruttukuthys -5 in A category & 15 in Category B, 5 Churulans and 4 Thekkanodis. Interestingly, women will also be in the fray with some foreigners forming part of a team.

    On August 8th , when the placid waters of the Punnamada lake breaks into tumultuous ripples under the slicing oars of the paddlers rowing in rhythm to the chants of the ‘Kuchelavritham Vanchipattu‘ Amrita TV will capture for its viewing millions, the pulsating excitement of the most competitive water sporting festival on earth.
