As the Kambala (slush track buffalo race) season begins on November 11, for the first ever time, the event typical of coastal Karnataka is set to be hosted in Bengaluru too.
According to chairman of the Kambala committee, Belapu Deviprasad Shetty, the event at Palace Grounds is scheduled on November 25.
Mr. Shetty told The Hindu that soil and water test conducted revealed that a Kambala can be held at the Palace Grounds, but there are concerns over transporting the buffaloes to Bengaluru from the coastal belt and maintaining their health.
