The Nehru Trophy boat race is set to take place tomorrow, and preparations are in full gear in the Kerela area of Alappuzha. The Nehru Trophy Boat Race is one of Kerala’s most prestigious snake boat races, according to the state’s official tourism website. Every year on the second Saturday in August, it attracts a sizable crowd.
People swarm to see nearly 100-foot-long boats race against one another while listening to traditional boat melodies. The race takes place at Punnamada Lake, where competitors queue to compete.
