Kambala a unique Mangaluru sport

Kambala is an adventure local sport from the Dakshin Kannada region. It is the test of speed at which the Bulls across the muddy field (specially created). Another challenge is upto what height mud can be splashed during this racy encounter with a help of a small plank attached to the bull.

Speed is all what matters here

Yes, Mangalore's landscape look quite similar Kerala & Goa.
Though there are some similarity with kerala and Goa, by virtue of these regions being on the west coast, like food, with fish being the staple and coconut being generously used in all dishes. These regions get abundant rainfall and lot of coconut palms growing everywhere is probably another reason for Mangalore region looking similar to Kerala and Goa. Also another things is the red soil which is common in Goa and Mangalore. The similarity ends here.
Though Mangalore is a part of karnataka state, it is geographically, culturally, ethnically and linguistically very different from the rest of Karnataka.
One more distinctness is Mangalore and Udupi, two of the largest cities in Udupi & South canara have a lot of high-rises compared to other upland cities in Karnataka.
The twin districts of South canara and Udupi of which Mangalore forms a part is called Tulu Nadu. Tulu language is the most widely spoken language in this region, unlike Kannada in the other parts of Karnataka. Tuluvas are the majority ethnic group in Mangalore region, who have their own traditions which are very distinct and different from other people in Karnataka, Kerala or Goa.
So better not to compare Mangalore with any other region since it has its own uniqueness.

So better not to compare Mangalore with any other region since it has its own uniqueness.
What is the discussion all about :?

Yes one cannot compare any city with another,We must be happy that we have unique cities in our state-

Mangalore/Udupi is modern and is growing vertical >because of space constraints.

Mysore on the other hand is calm,serene and brimming with heritage.

Bangalore is a mix of both.

Hubli-Dharwad is again unique with Hubli resembling more of a commercial centre for the adjoining 5 districts and Dharwad is ditto like Mysore.

Belgaum is a much forward looking city in the north west Karnataka region.

Be proud that we have even cities built on Islamic architecture-Bidar,Bijapur and Gulbarga.

Karnataka-one state Many worlds..................:happy:



:cheers:
