Mangalore, December 4: The historical Kadri Kambla of Sri Manjunateshwara of Sri Kshetra Kadri kicked off here on Sunday under the guidance of Mahantaras Sri Sandhyanath of Kadri Sri Yogishwara Mutt.

Events like 'kesarugadde ota', 'tug-of-war', twin-track buffalo slush track race, 'teppangai' and a treasure hunt competition were held prior to the actual 'kambla. A distinct feature of Kadri Kambala is that it will begin in the afternoon and end before sunset. Many other Kambalas in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts begin in the afternoon, go on throughout night and sometimes continue till the next noon.

Historical records showed that Kadri Kambala was originally organised under the patronage of the kings of the Alupa dynasty.

Hence it is also known as Arasu Kambala. Since it is being held near the Kadri Manjunatha Swamy temple, it is also known as Devara Kambala.


Kambla will be held in three categories - kana halage, hagga hiriya, and haga kiriya. Owners of buffaloes winning the race will get a gold medal.

'Guttu Award' will be conferred to B P Karkera, founder of Namma Kudla, first Tulu cable television news channel.


Deputy Commissioner Dr N S Chennappa Gowda, Deputy Speaker of State Assembly N Yogish Bhat, B Nagaraj Shetty, former minister and president of the Kadri Kambala Samiti, Pradeep Kumar Kalkura, working president and others were present.

Bengaluru, Jan 21: Controversial Mysuru ruler Tipu Sultan will remain in state-syllabus textbooks in the next academic year (2020-21) too. But the government will form another committee to look at the subject afresh.

"Efforts are on to give textbooks and uniforms the day schools open next academic year. After a discussion with the CM, we decided to not make any changes in the textbooks for the upcoming academic year,"said primary and secondary education minister S Suresh Kumar.

No political angle, says minister

However, we will form a committee to look into it again,” said the minister.

Three months ago, Madikeri MLA Appachu Ranjan had written to the minister seeking removal of contents on Tipu Sultan from Karnataka state syllabus books of classes 6,7 and 10. The minister said: “Appachu Ranjan is a five-time MLA. When he sent a letter, it’s my duty to seek an opinion on it. There’s no political angle here.”
