Kambala
Kambala () is an annual Buffalo Race (he-buffalo) held traditionally under the auspices local land lords and households (Aramane, Beedu, Guthu/Mane, Dodmane) or Patel of village, in coastal Karnataka, India. The Kambala season generally starts in November and lasts until March. Since the last two decades nearly 18 kambalas are held under the banner of Kambala Samithi (Kambala Association). As of now, more than 45 he-buffalo races are held annually in Coastal Karnataka, even in smaller remote villages like Vandaru, Gulvadi etc.

Kambala is traditionally a simple sport which provides much needed entertainment to the rural people. The 'track' used for Kambala is a paddy field filled with slush and mud. The contest generally takes place between two pairs of buffaloes, each pair raced in wet rice fields, controlled by a whip-lashing farmer. In olden days, the winning pair of buffaloes was rewarded with coconuts and a bunch of plantains and nowadays, gold coins, silver coins are given;〔 in some competitions, cash award is also in vogue. Some organising committees award eight gram gold coin as first prize.〔 However, Kambala today has become an organised rural sport, with elobarate planning and timetable for Kambala at different places. The "Kambala Committee" is formed and it usually arranges Kambala in several categories like ''Kane Halage'', ''Hagga Hiriya'', ''Hagga Kiriya'',〔 ''Halage'', ''Adda Halage''〔 etc. People place massive bets on the buffaloes to win and one can witness more than 20,000 spectators in a well-organised Kambala, egging on and cheering the buffaloes to complete the race.
In traditional form of Kambala, racing is non-competitive, and he-buffalo pairs run one by one in paddy fields. A ritualistic approach is also there, as some agriculturists race their he-buffaloes for thanks giving (to god) for protecting their animals from diseases.(e.g.in Vandaru,Choradi villages)
Innovations are made in conducting kambala race and in some places day and night races are arranged under floodlights.〔
