As part of Onam celebration, a grand festival in Kerala, an annual snake boat race is conducted – the Champakara Boat Race, wherein oarsmen from different parts of Kerala compete for the coveted title of the best rowing team.

Esta toma es espectacular, aqui observo al equipo remar de espaldas al objetivo, el lider esta claro hacia donde los lleva, eso es liderazgo, un lider y los seguidores en equipo por el mismo objetivo, o meta, en este caso.
