I know in china there are many dragon boat festivals and big competitions. Even the name "dragon boat" is quite related to China, since the dragon is a symbol of that country and culture. Good to know there is also an Indian version!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10964074922379281793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2198865253514363666.post-44246973343620645252009-06-13T07:55:40.684+02:002009-06-13T07:55:40.684+02:00Reminds me of the snake boats (Chundan Vallam in M...Reminds me of the snake boats (Chundan Vallam in Malayalam) we have in Kerala. They are 100-160ft in length and can contain upto 120-130 people including the singers and the captain. <br /><br />The Kings of Alappuzha(a place in Kerala) are supposed to have built them to help in wars. Nowadays, during Onam(a festival), there is an annual boat race.<br /><br />Places so far away, but similarities in culture..... right ? <br /><br />Well, good luck... just take care with the rhythm :)Sapnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12978592679568478683noreply@blogger.com
