Alappuzha: Hundreds of tourists, including many from western countries, were gathered at the Punnamada Lake here Saturday to witness the famed boat race, in which 16 snake boats and around 40 small boats are to participate.

President Pratibha Patil is to witness the 58th edition of the Nehru Boat Race, which also marks the beginning of the state’s tourist season.

Last year, Congress president Sonia Gandhi was the chief guest.

The snake boat race is the main tourist attraction because the length of a snake boat varies from 120 to 140 feet and has about 120 oarsmen.

For the past few days, Punamada Lake has been getting a steady stream of foreign tourists who have been watching the participating teams rehearsing for the big day.

The beauty of this event is that interest for it over the years has been growing. We will certainly have more foreign tourists witnessing this spectacle compared to last year.
