ARANMULA VALLAMKALI

                             ARANMULA   UTHRITTATHI JALAMELA

                     A resplendent water regatta that showcases the grandeur of the rich tradition of Kerala, the Aranmula Vallamkali is a boat race held on the Uthrittathi asterism (as per the Malayalam calendar) during Onam, the harvest festival of Kerala.

                       This annual festival which is more of a ritual than a boat race has an interesting folklore associated with it. Legend has it that a Brahmin once offered all the requirements for the thiruvonasadya (the traditional feast on the day of Thiruvonam) at the Aranmula Parthasarathy Temple.

                         On one such occasion, the Thiruvona Thoni, as the boat is called, laden with all these offerings got attacked by enemies. In order to protect the Thiruvona Thoni, the people from the neighbouring areas sent their snake boats. This tradition of sending snake boats later evolved into an offering to Lord Parthasarathy in the form of a snake boat race. This tradition held on the Uthrittathi day later evolved into what we see today as the Aranmula Boat Race.
