Kambala Time Table 2017-18

Today the Supreme Court of India has refused to stay a plea filed by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to ban a legislation in Karnataka that permits the annual buffalo race, Kambala. In September this year, PETA had filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking direction from the court to strike down the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Karnataka Amendment) Ordinance, 2017, which allows kambala events and other bull-cart races in the state. That clears the Kambala to be held as scheduled. Check the Time Table given below.

Here is the Timetable of Kambala Races which are going held in Dakshina Kannada, Udupi & Kasargod Districts during the year 2017-18. These are the dates announced by District Kambala Committee. Please note dates are subject to change due to unavoidable circumstances.

All Kambalas start at around 8-9AM but real part of the race is later in the afternoon. No seat booking, in fact, there are no seats in most of the Kambala venues. Kambala goes on non-stop day and night for as much as 24-36 hours till all the winners are declared, depending on the buffalo pairs.
