Boat Race Poster

Boat racing is a popular traditional sport in India, especially in the southern state of Kerala. The boat race poster typically features vibrant colors and dynamic imagery of traditional snake boats known as \“chundan vallams\“. These posters are used to promote the annual Nehru Trophy Boat Race held in the Punnamada Lake.

Local artisans create these posters using traditional methods, often incorporating elements of Kerala\“s rich cultural heritage. The posters showcase the long, narrow boats with over 100 rowers, decorated with colorful flags and symbols. Many posters also include details about the event date, location, and participating teams.

These boat race posters have become collectible items among tourists and are considered important pieces of Indian sporting memorabilia. They represent the spirit of teamwork and the cultural significance of water sports in Indian coastal communities.
