A colourful face-painting competition was organised in Alappuzha as part of the publicity activities for the Nehru Trophy Boat Race. The event was organised by the publicity committee for higher-secondary and college students and focused on the theme “Alappuzha and Nehru Trophy Boat Race.”
The competition brought together young participants and combined art, local culture and sporting traditions. Winners were selected from participating educational institutions, while certificates and encouragement prizes were also planned for participants.
The event forms part of the build-up to one of Alappuzha’s most prominent annual sporting and cultural celebrations. The Nehru Trophy Boat Race attracts significant public attention and highlights the district’s long-standing association with Vallam Kali and traditional snake-boat racing.
