The tranquil backwaters of Kerala become lively and cheerful with the colourful and vibrant snake boat races. It is also an opportunity to witness the team spirit, bonding and friendliness of the people of Kerala. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each and every boat races in Kerala are associated with various legends and myths which are greatly admired by the Keralites. These boat races are mainly held in connection with the <strong>harvest festival of Kerala<\/strong>, <strong>Onam<\/strong> which often falls between the months of <strong>August to September<\/strong>. A large number of snake boats which is popularly known as <strong>Chundan Vallom<\/strong> and other small boats also participate in this water carnival. It is truly a spectacular event to watch over <strong>100-125 oarsmen<\/strong> rowing in unison to the fast rhythm of the &#8220;<strong>Vanchipattu<\/strong>&#8221; or boat song in the company of <strong>4 helmsmen<\/strong> and <strong>25 singers<\/strong>. The Vanchipattu has special power in spreading great excitement and life all around. And the spectators cheering for their favourite team creates an aura of a competitive sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.keralatourism.holiday\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/cover2-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.keralatourism.holiday\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/cover2-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.keralatourism.holiday\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/cover2-2-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.keralatourism.holiday\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/cover2-2-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every year between the months of <strong>July to September<\/strong>, Kerala hosts this cultural extravaganza locally known as &#8220;<strong>Vallam Kali<\/strong>&#8220;. The <strong>Champakkulam Boat Race<\/strong> is lauded as one of the oldest snake boat races in the state. And it indicates the beginning of the season of boat races in Kerala. It is originally known as <strong>Champakkulam Moolam Vallam Kali<\/strong> and is held on the <strong>river Pamba<\/strong> every year on the Moolam day in the Malayalam month of Midhunam. The&nbsp;Champakulam&nbsp;Moolam&nbsp;Boat Race&nbsp;is one of the oldest and most popular vallam kali (snake&nbsp;boat race) after <strong>Aranmula&nbsp;Boat Race<\/strong>&nbsp;in Kerala. Champakkulam Boat Race is extremely popular and draws hundreds and thousands of tourists every year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As per history, it is said that Pooradam Thirunal Devanarayanan who was the Raja of Chempakasherri, set up a temple at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.keralatourism.holiday\/best-places\/alleppey\/ambalappuzha-krishna-temple.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Ambalappuzha (opens in a new tab)\">Ambalappuzha<\/a><\/strong> on the advice of royal astrologers. To his surprise, he was informed that the idol was not auspicious only before the installation of the deity (Lord Krishna). Accordingly, the priests advised the King to get the idol of Lord Krishna from the Karinkulam temple in Kurichi which is considered very sacred as it is believed to have been given to Arjuna by Lord Krishna himself. On their journey to Ambalappuzha, the king sojourned at <strong>Champakkulam<\/strong>. The next day, thousands of boats gathered at the place to honour the King and the idol and escort them to Ambalappuzha. To commemorate this event, the King decided to organize a <strong>water carnival at Champakkulam<\/strong>, which is now popular as <strong>Champakkulam Boat Race<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scintillating river of Pamba embellished with huge, well-decorated <strong>snake boats<\/strong> having a length of 100 to 120 feet and carrying over 100 rowers is a remarkable sight to behold. The colourful Champakkulam Boat Race becomes lively and imparts a festive mood all around with the drumbeats and chanting of the boat songs known as <strong>Vanchipattu<\/strong>. Apart from fun and excitement, the boat race is a matter of pride for the corresponding village taking part in the competition and they aim at nothing less than winning the race. The boat races in Kerala has a special power in making you overwhelmed with great excitement and you will simultaneously cheer and applause watching the race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.keralatourism.holiday\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/cover4-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.keralatourism.holiday\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/cover4-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.keralatourism.holiday\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/cover4-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.keralatourism.holiday\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/cover4-1-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, 2019, the <strong>Champakkulam Boat Race<\/strong> is going to be held on <strong>July 15<\/strong>.
