This race is associated with a legend. On the advice of a royal priest, Maharaja Devanarayana of Chempakasseri built a temple at Ambalapuzha. The ministers of the King advised to bring the idol of Sri Krishna presented to Arjuna by the Lord Krishna himself from the Karikulam temple of Kuruchi. While returning with the idol they spent a night at Champakulam to perform a puja. From there, boats of the entire area accompanied the idol in colourful ceremonial procession through the river to the temple. Celebrating that moment, the whole procession is enacted every year with the same enthusiasm. A line of boats festooned with colourful parasols and performing arts delights spectators before the start of the Champakulam boat race.
