A kambala is an annual buffalo race held in the southwestern Indian state of Karnataka. Traditionally, it is sponsored by local Tuluva landlords and households in the coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi farming community A pair of buffaloes are tied to the plough and one person anchors it, making the buffaloes run. There are two parallel muddy tracks, on which two competing pairs of buffaloes run. Fastest team wins. The festival begins with an inaugural ceremony and a parade of the participating farmers along with their prized buffaloes. The racing tracks are normally about 120 to 160 metres in length and 8 to 12 metres in width. Tracks are ploughed into a muddy field that is made slushy with water.
