This handcrafted Aranmula Palliyodam miniature in wood and brass is a made-to-order replica of Kerala's most sacred ceremonial snake boat — the ritual vessel of the Aranmula Parthasarathy Temple. At 88cm in length, it is a commanding, museum-quality collector's piece crafted by skilled Kerala artisans.
What Is the Aranmula Palliyodam?
The Palliyodam is the most revered of Kerala's traditional snake boats — a ceremonial vessel associated with the Aranmula Parthasarathy Temple and the Aranmula Uthrattathi Boat Race, one of the oldest and most sacred boat races in India. Unlike competitive snake boats, the Palliyodam is a ritual vessel: it carries the Thidambu (the sacred idol of Lord Parthasarathy) across the Pampa River during the Onam festival. It is a symbol of Kerala's deepest cultural and spiritual heritage.
This miniature faithfully replicates the Palliyodam's distinctive curved hull, elevated prow, and ceremonial proportions in wood and brass, finished in black and metallic gold.
Why This Piece Stands Apart
- Made to order — crafted specifically for you; 2–3 weeks production time before shipping
- Museum-quality scale — 88 x 7 x 14cm; the most substantial Palliyodam miniature in our collection
- Wood and brass construction — natural wood hull with intricate brass detailing on the prow and stern
- Black and metallic gold finish — faithful to the ceremonial colours of the original vessel
- Authentic proportions — faithfully replicates the distinctive curved hull and elevated prow
- Entirely handcrafted — made by Kerala artisans; no two pieces are identical
Corporate & Institutional Gifting

The cute Onam hamper beautifully captured the essence of Onam with traditional goodies and cultural touches that made it truly special. My North Indian friend loved experiencing a piece of Kerala’s traditions. The packaging was elegant and overall it made the feel extra special. Highly recommend for anyone looking to gift something meaningful and culturally rich!

Real Walk the Talk
I purchased the product when it is shown 10% discount for first purchase but during billing it was missing. When contacted the staff they promptly responded by refunding the amount which I never expected. I have become your ambassador and recommending for my friends. Please keep it up for your growth.
