Chundan Vallam
Chundan Vallam (Beaked Boat), known outside of Kerala as Kerala snake boats, are one of the icons of Kerala culture used in the Vallamkali boat race. ==Naval architecture== Constructed according to specifications taken from the Sthapathya Veda, an ancient treatise for the building of wooden boats, these boats vary from 100 to 138 feet in length. With the rear portion rising to a height of about 20 feet, and a long tapering front portion, it resembles a snake with its hood raised. Hulls are built of planks precisely 83 feet in length and six inches wide. The boats are a good example of ancient Vishwakarma' prowess in naval architecture.
