Alappuzha district, Administrative district in Kerala, India
The district spans 1,414 square kilometers along the Arabian Sea coast, featuring an intricate network of canals, lagoons, and waterways throughout its territory.
The district emerged as a commercial center in the 18th century when Raja Kesavadas established the port, leading to extensive trade connections with international markets.
The Nehru Trophy Boat Race on Punnamada Lake brings thousands of participants who compete in traditional snake boats measuring up to 100 feet in length.
