Aaranmula Boat Race
Masses throng the shores of the River Pamba to watch an imposing cluster of snake boats called 'Palliyodams'.
Each boat, nearly 100 feet long, is a remarkable feat of craftsmanship, with the stem curved to resemble the hood of a snake and a tampering bow.
Festooned with silk and gold spangled umbrellas, the boats are manned by a crew of more than 100 men.
