Rural Kerala has many moments in its daily life that are often tagged close to natural resources. For a land crisscrossed by rivers, canals and streams, the life of the village folk, closely follows the rhythms of its immediate natural resources. This holds true for their livelihood as well as in activities filled with fun and frolic. 

The video depicts children belonging to a village in Kuttanad region of Kerala, gliding down a lake Manakkal chira near Changanacherry in Kottayam district, on a country boat, locally known, as kochu vallam and plucking water lilies that are common in this part of the world. Locally known as ambal, the water lily belongs to the Nymphaeaceae family of aquatic plants. Commonly found in the water bodies of Kerala, the water lilies grow in shallow waters. Indian mythology considers lily flower to be the wife of the Moon, since it blooms to its maximum size during the night time.
