Kambala involves a jockey driving a pair of buffaloes across a paddy field. The sport has been popular in villages of Dakshina Kannada, Uttara Kannada and Kasargod in Kerala for centuries. It is an annual buffalo mud race conducted by various religious and social organisation in the coastal part of Karnataka.
