Kambala is an annual festival celebrated in the Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka. The festival involves the traditional buffalo race, a popular and unique sport among the farming community of the state.
This yearly event is celebrated with much enthusiasm and fervour in most parts of Dakshina Kannada, including Mangalore. The Kambala festival season starts in November and lasts till March.
Kambala is traditionally a simple sport which essentially, to entertain rural people of the area. The 'track' used for Kambala is a slushy paddy field. The contest generally takes place between two pairs of buffaloes, each pair race in wet rice fields, controlled by a whip-lashing farmer.Historically, the winning pair of buffaloes was rewarded with coconuts and bananas. Today, gold coins, silver coins are given; in some competitions, cash award is also popular. Some organising committees award eight gram gold coin as first prize.However, Kambala today has become an organised rural sport, with elaborate planning and scheduling to accommodate competietions at different places. The "Kambala Committee" is formed and arranges races in several categories like Kane Halage, Hagga Hiriya, Hagga Kiriya, Halage, Adda Halage etc.
In traditional form of Kambala, racing is non-competitive, and the pair run one by one in paddy fields. A ritualistic approach is also there, as some agriculturists race their buffaloes for thanks giving for protecting their animals from diseases
Innovations are made in conducting kambala race and in some places day and night races are arranged under floodlights.
