Mysuru is set to include Kambala—an open-track bull race—in its Dasara celebrations this year for the first time, according to district officials cited by multiple outlets. The Mysuru district commissioner (DC) is described as stating that Kambala will be a special attraction during the festival, highlighting the event as an additional feature for visitors and residents attending Dasara. The reports indicate that the plan is specific to this year’s Dasara and positions Kambala as part of Mysuru’s broader festival programming.
While the articles focus on the decision to introduce Kambala at Dasara, they do not provide extensive details in the provided excerpts on the venue, race schedule, number of participants, or regulatory arrangements. Across sources, the common point is that Kambala will be hosted in Mysuru during Dasara and that this marks a new inclusion for the festival, driven by the district administration’s announcement.
