International nightlife conference to be held in Tallinn in October
The international night culture conference "Dance Floor of Democracy" will take place at Tallinn's HALL club October 9, bringing together European night culture leaders, city officials, researchers and artists.
Kambala, a traditional buffalo race event, will take place during Mysuru Dasara on October 18-19. Puttur MLA Ashok Kumar Rai announced that the race will be held at a 147-meter "Kare" or slushy field near VTU College campus in Mysuru. The event will involve nearly 160 pairs of junior and senior buffalo pairs selected by the Mysuru Dasara Kambala organizing committee.
The Kambala will begin on October 18 and continue until the afternoon of October 19, with prizes being distributed on the latter day. Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar is expected to witness the event on one of the days. The government has given its approval to hold the event as part of Mysuru Dasara, despite a High Court rejection of a petition to restrict the traditional sports event to Dakshina Kannada.
Rai emphasized that the event's popularity and global appeal will benefit from its presence in Mysuru. Over 200 buffalo owners have expressed interest in participating, and the committee will select 160 pairs for the event, with separate categories for junior and senior buffaloes. Winning pairs in the senior and junior categories will receive ₹65,000 and 16 gram of gold, and ₹50,000 and 8 gram of gold, respectively.
An inaugural trial Kambala will be held on October 10, and around the "Kare," three stages will be set up for spectators, VIP visitors, and the viewing area. The event will also showcase local coastal cuisine.
