Kambala is a traditional buffalo race held in the coastal regions of Karnataka, India. It is a popular rural sport that showcases the strength and speed of buffaloes, often organized during the winter months. The race involves pairs of buffaloes sprinting through muddy paddy fields, guided by farmers. Kambala events attract large crowds and are deeply rooted in local culture, celebrating agricultural traditions and community bonding. In recent years, Kambala has gained attention for setting impressive speed records, with some buffaloes covering the track in under 12 seconds. This sport not only preserves heritage but also promotes the breeding of strong buffalo varieties, which are essential for farming in the region. |
