After a pandemic-induced gap of two years, famed boat races are all set for a roaring return in the State beginning with the Champakulam Moolam Boat Race on Tuesday.
As many as nine chundan vallams (snakeboats) will make a splash to the accompaniment of Vanchipattu and beating of drums on the Pamba river at Champakulam in the afternoon as they vie for the ‘Raja Pramukhan Trophy’.
Officials of the Moolam Boat Race Committee said that arrangements for the race were nearing completion.
