Check out these guys with their wifebeaters and moustaches on, practicing for the annual Nehru Trophy Boat Race held on the second Saturday of August in Kerala. The video above is a crew practicing for the most popular event of the race called Chundan Vallams (Snake Boats).
This was started in 1952 when Jawaharlal Nehru, visited Alappuzha, and inaugurated the function in which the gigantic snake boats (140 ft in length, crew of over 100) raced one another.
