Historical Background: Thiruvonathoni is a special snake boat (a traditional long canoe used in Kerala) that carries offerings for the deity of the Aranmula Parthasarathy Temple. The boat journey begins from the Kattoor Mahadeva Temple, located about 6 kilometers from the Aranmula temple. The boat is adorned with decorations and carries rice, fruits, and other items essential for the ceremonial feast (Onasadya) that will be offered at the Aranmula temple. The journey takes place at night, and the boat is rowed by a group of oarsmen who sing traditional boat songs called "Vanchipattu" to the rhythm of the oars. 

Story of Aranmula: Nestled on the banks of the Pamba River, Aranmula is famed for its vibrant boat races and rich cultural traditions. The village comes alive during the Onam festival as the majestic Thiruvonathoni glides through the waters, accompanied by rhythmic boat songs and traditional music, showcasing Kerala's communal spirit and heritage.
