This is the moment a boating club decides to practice on a flooded road in town following heavy rains.
A video shows a long snake boat furiously rowing through a flooded road carrying its members and music band.
The funny incident took place in Kainakary, Kerala, India, on July 18.
The members of the Kumarakom boating club decided that they could save some time by practicing on the flooded road instead of walking up to a local river some distance away.
“The roads were deserted. There was also their loud drumbeats and music to warn people to keep away,” said a local resident Sunil Menon.
The club members were practicing for the Nehru trophy race to be held next month at Alleppy. The celebrated club has won the prestigious trophy several times in the past.
Annual snake boat races in Kerala are a popular sporting spectacle that draws thousands of visitors from all over the world.
Snake boat races are held in various parts of the state after the rainy season kicks off and several popular teams compete for trophy and prize money.
