The Nehru Trophy Boat race is amongst the premier snake boat races in Kerala deriving its name from the visit of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru in 1952. Held on the second Saturday of August every year it draws in a massive crowd while 100 ft long boats compete against each other. During this season the area comes to life with ceremonial water processions and beautiful water floats.
